Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 25,844 votes, 4.5× the 5,690-vote margin.

    25,844 ÷ 5,690 = 4.5

  2. The top two polled 83.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 16.3% between them.

    (70,725 + 65,035) ÷ 1,63,634 = 83.0% · 26,690 ÷ 1,63,634 = 16.3%

  3. Turnout of 80.5% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    80.5 − 79.4 = +1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.0 pp in 2021 to 3.5 pp.

    3.5 − 9.0 = −5.5 pp

  5. Xavier Chittilappilly also won in 2021.
