Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 1,05,964 votes, 1.8× the 59,564-vote margin.

    1,05,964 ÷ 59,564 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 88.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 10.3% between them.

    (6,05,645 + 5,46,081) ÷ 13,01,540 = 88.5% · 1,34,304 ÷ 13,01,540 = 10.3%

  3. Turnout of 73.5% was 7.7 pp below the state's median seat (81.2%).

    73.5 − 81.2 = −7.7

  4. AITC held the seat it won in 2022.
