Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,51,778 votes, 3.3× the 75,283-vote margin.

    2,51,778 ÷ 75,283 = 3.3

  2. The top two polled 74.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 25.1% between them.

    (4,21,169 + 3,45,886) ÷ 10,35,836 = 74.1% · 2,59,988 ÷ 10,35,836 = 25.1%

  3. Turnout of 74.1% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (73.0%).

    74.1 − 73.0 = +1.2

  4. The margin widened from 1.1 pp in 2019 to 7.3 pp.

    7.3 − 1.1 = +6.2 pp

  5. V K Sreekandan also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
