Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 32,060 votes, 5.5× the 5,787-vote margin.

    32,060 ÷ 5,787 = 5.5

  2. The top two polled 79.9% of votes; the other 13 candidates 19.6% between them.

    (91,149 + 85,362) ÷ 2,21,038 = 79.9% · 43,318 ÷ 2,21,038 = 19.6%

  3. Turnout of 88.6% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    88.6 − 86.6 = +2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.0 pp in 2021 to 2.6 pp.

    2.6 − 8.0 = −5.4 pp

  5. R. Gandhi, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
