Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed TVK polled 52,538 votes, 4.8× the 10,845-vote margin.
52,538 ÷ 10,845 = 4.8
The top two polled 66.4% of votes; the other 18 candidates 33.3% between them.
(68,011 + 57,166) ÷ 1,88,461 = 66.4% · 62,810 ÷ 1,88,461 = 33.3%
Turnout of 80.1% was 6.5 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).
80.1 − 86.6 = −6.5
The margin widened from 1.6 pp in 2021 to 5.8 pp.
5.8 − 1.6 = +4.2 pp
