Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 43,073 votes, 3.3× the 12,922-vote margin.

    43,073 ÷ 12,922 = 3.3

  2. The top two polled 70.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 28.8% between them.

    (74,062 + 61,140) ÷ 1,91,030 = 70.8% · 55,031 ÷ 1,91,030 = 28.8%

  3. Turnout of 83.9% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    83.9 − 86.6 = −2.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.3 pp in 2021 to 6.8 pp.

    6.8 − 16.3 = −9.5 pp

  5. Marimuthu.K also won in 2021.
