Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 27,063 votes, 1.8× the 15,316-vote margin.

    27,063 ÷ 15,316 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 17.2% between them.

    (79,920 + 64,604) ÷ 1,75,777 = 82.2% · 30,195 ÷ 1,75,777 = 17.2%

  3. Turnout of 78.0% was 1.4 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    78.0 − 79.4 = −1.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.3 pp in 2021 to 8.7 pp.

    8.7 − 16.3 = −7.6 pp

  5. CPI held the seat it won in 2021.
