Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMK polled 50,043 votes, 1.3× the 39,042-vote margin.

    50,043 ÷ 39,042 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 73.9% of votes; the other 12 candidates 25.5% between them.

    (1,02,807 + 63,765) ÷ 2,25,257 = 73.9% · 57,393 ÷ 2,25,257 = 25.5%

  3. Turnout of 93.2% was 6.6 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    93.2 − 86.6 = +6.6

  4. The margin widened from 13.7 pp in 2021 to 17.3 pp.

    17.3 − 13.7 = +3.6 pp

  5. Anbalagan. K.P. also won in 2021.
