Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 19,681 votes, 1.9× the 10,543-vote margin.

    19,681 ÷ 10,543 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 87.5% of votes; the other 1 candidate 11.9% between them.

    (77,425 + 66,882) ÷ 1,65,006 = 87.5% · 19,681 ÷ 1,65,006 = 11.9%

  3. Turnout of 79.8% was 0.4 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    79.8 − 79.4 = +0.4

  4. The margin widened from 6.1 pp in 2021 to 6.4 pp.

    6.4 − 6.1 = +0.3 pp

  5. O R Kelu, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
