Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,969 votes, 6.3× the 1,115-vote margin.

    6,969 ÷ 1,115 = 6.3

  2. The top two polled 65.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 33.7% between them.

    (8,375 + 7,260) ÷ 23,801 = 65.7% · 8,023 ÷ 23,801 = 33.7%

  3. The margin widened from 1.3 pp in 2021 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 1.3 = +3.4 pp

  4. Ramesh Parambath, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
