Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 8,432 votes, 1.1× the 7,487-vote margin.

    8,432 ÷ 7,487 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 93.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 5.8% between them.

    (76,640 + 69,153) ÷ 1,55,970 = 93.5% · 8,984 ÷ 1,55,970 = 5.8%

  3. Turnout of 81.9% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    81.9 − 79.4 = +2.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 33.4 pp in 2021 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 33.4 = −28.6 pp

  5. T. I. Madhusoodanan, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
