A closer look at the Azhikode election results reveals a curious situation. While the vote count shows C2 (K. V. Sumesh) with 6,165 votes and C1 (Adv. Kareem Cheleri) with 4,729, the payload explicitly states Adv. Kareem Cheleri is LEADING. This is a contradiction, as the candidate with fewer votes shouldn't be in the lead. The constituency data also names Adv. Kareem Cheleri as the leading candidate. We'll be following the payload's direct status indicators, rather than trying to interpret the vote totals ourselves.
