Notes[edit | edit source]

↑ excluding 12 nominated seats
↑ out of 245 (including 12 nominated seats)
↑ Quota = 140 ÷ (3+1) + 1 = 36 votes. UDF with 102 MLAs could win 2 seats; remaining votes are UDF 30, LDF 35 and Others 3. Since none reach 36, the result of the 3rd seat depends on the stand of the 3 Other MLAs (BJP-3).
↑ ^4.0 ^4.1 ^4.2 ^4.3 ^4.4 ^4.5 Defected from AAP to BJP in April 2026.^[2]
↑ Quota = 243 ÷ (5+1) + 1 = 41 votes. NDA with 202 MLAs could win 4 seats; remaining votes are NDA 38, MGB 35 and Others 6. Since none reach 41, the result of the 5th seat depends on the stand of the 6 Other MLAs (AIMIM-5, BSP-1).
