[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 5,932 votes, 1.9× the 3,093-vote margin.

    5,932 ÷ 3,093 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 75.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 23.5% between them.

    (13,822 + 10,729) ÷ 32,386 = 75.8% · 7,600 ÷ 32,386 = 23.5%

  3. The margin narrowed from 27.5 pp in 2021 to 9.6 pp.

    9.6 − 27.5 = −17.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2021, TVK in 2026.
