Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 34,280 votes, 14× the 2,455-vote margin.
34,280 ÷ 2,455 = 14.0
The top two polled 79.1% of votes; the other 28 candidates 20.5% between them.
(88,273 + 85,818) ÷ 2,20,066 = 79.1% · 45,190 ÷ 2,20,066 = 20.5%
Turnout of 87.8% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
87.8 − 86.6 = +1.2
The margin narrowed from 45.8 pp in 2021 to 1.1 pp.
