Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 8,043 votes, 3.4× the 2,397-vote margin.

    8,043 ÷ 2,397 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 67.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 31.6% between them.

    (10,520 + 8,123) ÷ 27,456 = 67.9% · 8,666 ÷ 27,456 = 31.6%

  3. The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 2021 to 8.7 pp.

    8.7 − 0.8 = +7.9 pp

  4. R. Senthil Kumar also won in 2021.
