Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 26,899 votes, 5.5× the 4,847-vote margin.

    26,899 ÷ 4,847 = 5.5

  2. The top two polled 84.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 15.1% between them.

    (78,910 + 74,063) ÷ 1,80,816 = 84.6% · 27,339 ÷ 1,80,816 = 15.1%

  3. Turnout of 78.9% was 0.5 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    78.9 − 79.4 = −0.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.1 pp in 2021 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 8.1 = −5.4 pp

  5. C H Kunhambu, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
