Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 7.7% between them.

    (74,308 + 55,735) ÷ 1,42,344 = 91.4% · 11,012 ÷ 1,42,344 = 7.7%

  2. Turnout of 78.9% was 0.5 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    78.9 − 79.4 = −0.5

  3. The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 2021 to 13.1 pp.

    13.1 − 0.8 = +12.3 pp

  4. Dr.Sujith Vijayanpillai, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
