Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 1,66,271 votes, 38× the 4,379-vote margin.
1,66,271 ÷ 4,379 = 38.0
NOTA polled 9,408 votes, 2.1× the winning margin of 4,379.
9,408 ÷ 4,379 = 2.1
The top two polled 72.1% of votes; the other 25 candidates 27.0% between them.
(3,85,256 + 3,80,877) ÷ 10,61,901 = 72.1% · 2,86,360 ÷ 10,61,901 = 27.0%
Turnout of 70.7% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (71.0%).
70.7 − 71.0 = −0.3
The margin narrowed from 14.4 pp in 2019 to 0.4 pp.
0.4 − 14.4 = −14.0 pp
Manickam Tagore B also won in 2019.
