Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 2,47,648 votes, 15× the 16,077-vote margin.

    2,47,648 ÷ 16,077 = 15.4

  2. The top two polled 72.7% of votes; the other 10 candidates 26.6% between them.

    (3,58,155 + 3,42,078) ÷ 9,62,983 = 72.7% · 2,55,997 ÷ 9,62,983 = 26.6%

  3. Turnout of 67.3% was 5.6 pp below the state's median seat (73.0%).

    67.3 − 73.0 = −5.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.9 pp in 2019 to 1.7 pp.

    1.7 − 9.9 = −8.2 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2019.
