Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 1,76,899 votes, 1.1× the 1,60,572-vote margin.

    1,76,899 ÷ 1,60,572 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 85.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 13.7% between them.

    (7,20,302 + 5,59,730) ÷ 14,97,310 = 85.5% · 2,04,581 ÷ 14,97,310 = 13.7%

  3. Turnout of 83.1% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (81.2%).

    83.1 − 81.2 = +1.9

  4. The margin widened from 6.2 pp in 2019 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 6.2 = +4.5 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2019.
