Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 49,494 votes, 18× the 2,678-vote margin.

    49,494 ÷ 2,678 = 18.5

  2. The top two polled 66.2% of votes; the other 12 candidates 33.5% between them.

    (63,907 + 61,229) ÷ 1,89,080 = 66.2% · 63,373 ÷ 1,89,080 = 33.5%

  3. Turnout of 87.8% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    87.8 − 86.6 = +1.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.8 pp in 2021 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 9.8 = −8.4 pp

  5. Venkatesan.A, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
