As the votes get divided between various parties' candidates, it is difficult for individuals to win the elections by a clear majority. When the Election commission declares the results, the candidate who secures the highest number of votes from a constituency is declared elected. A candidate doesn't have to win the elections by a majority, ensuring more than half of the polled votes. The person with the maximum vote wins.
