Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 19,674 votes, 24× the 834-vote margin.

    19,674 ÷ 834 = 23.6

  2. NOTA polled 1,442 votes, 1.7× the winning margin of 834.

    1,442 ÷ 834 = 1.7

  3. The top two polled 88.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 11.0% between them.

    (1,03,487 + 1,02,653) ÷ 2,33,245 = 88.4% · 25,663 ÷ 2,33,245 = 11.0%

  4. Turnout of 94.2% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    94.2 − 93.4 = +0.8

  5. The margin narrowed from 8.0 pp in 2021 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 8.0 = −7.6 pp

  6. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2021, BJP in 2026.
