Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 34,291 votes, 3.1× the 10,962-vote margin.

    34,291 ÷ 10,962 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 69.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 30.5% between them.

    (63,731 + 52,769) ÷ 1,68,780 = 69.0% · 51,512 ÷ 1,68,780 = 30.5%

  3. Turnout of 87.8% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    87.8 − 86.6 = +1.2

  4. The margin widened from 0.6 pp in 2021 to 6.5 pp.

    6.5 − 0.6 = +5.9 pp

  5. Saba.Rajendran, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
