Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 5,033 votes, 1.9× the 2,653-vote margin.

    5,033 ÷ 2,653 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 78.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 21.3% between them.

    (12,731 + 10,078) ÷ 29,208 = 78.1% · 6,217 ÷ 29,208 = 21.3%

  3. The margin widened from 0.5 pp in 2021 to 9.1 pp.

    9.1 − 0.5 = +8.6 pp

  4. P.R.N. Thirumurugan also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
