Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,19,558 votes, 2.2× the 1,00,649-vote margin.

    2,19,558 ÷ 1,00,649 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 79.2% of votes; the other 7 candidates 20.2% between them.

    (4,90,659 + 3,90,010) ÷ 11,12,546 = 79.2% · 2,24,765 ÷ 11,12,546 = 20.2%

  3. Turnout of 76.6% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (73.0%).

    76.6 − 73.0 = +3.7

  4. The margin widened from 3.7 pp in 2019 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 3.7 = +5.3 pp

  5. Rajmohan Unnithan also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
