Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 20,664 votes, 20× the 1,012-vote margin.

    20,664 ÷ 1,012 = 20.4

  2. The top two polled 85.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 14.4% between them.

    (63,926 + 62,914) ÷ 1,48,854 = 85.2% · 21,403 ÷ 1,48,854 = 14.4%

  3. Turnout of 76.7% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    76.7 − 79.4 = −2.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.3 pp in 2021 to 0.7 pp.

    0.7 − 7.3 = −6.6 pp

  5. K.N. Balagopal also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
