Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 27,400 votes, 13× the 2,050-vote margin.

    27,400 ÷ 2,050 = 13.4

  2. The top two polled 78.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 20.9% between them.

    (55,365 + 53,315) ÷ 1,38,231 = 78.6% · 28,899 ÷ 1,38,231 = 20.9%

  3. Turnout of 75.1% was 4.3 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    75.1 − 79.4 = −4.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.3 pp in 2021 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 13.3 = −11.8 pp

  5. Adv.V Joy also won in 2021.
