Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 18,732 votes, 1.7× the 11,178-vote margin.

    18,732 ÷ 11,178 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 87.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 11.3% between them.

    (99,936 + 88,758) ÷ 2,14,774 = 87.9% · 24,282 ÷ 2,14,774 = 11.3%

  3. Turnout of 94.5% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    94.5 − 93.4 = +1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.8 pp in 2021 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 8.8 = −3.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2021, BJP in 2026.
