Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 26,790 votes, 1.6× the 16,955-vote margin.

    26,790 ÷ 16,955 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 79.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 19.7% between them.

    (87,705 + 70,750) ÷ 1,98,798 = 79.7% · 39,069 ÷ 1,98,798 = 19.7%

  3. Turnout of 78.2% was 8.4 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    78.2 − 86.6 = −8.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 24.4 pp in 2021 to 8.5 pp.

    8.5 − 24.4 = −15.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: DMK in 2021, TVK in 2026.
