According to the first-past-the-post method, how does the party with more votes benefit in terms of seat distribution?

It tends to win more seats than its proportional share.

The electoral system in India played a significant role in amplifying the extent of the Congress party's victory.
Despite not securing a majority of the votes, the Congress party managed to win three out of every four seats.
In the 1952 elections, for instance, the Congress party received 45 percent of the total votes but secured an overwhelming 74 percent of the seats.
On the other hand, the Socialist Party, despite obtaining over 10 percent of the votes nationwide, could only secure less than three percent of the seats.
First-past-the-post method of election system in India contributed to the disparity between the votes obtained and the corresponding seat allocation, ultimately boosting the Congress party's dominance.

The first-past-the-post (FPTP) system is also known as the simple majority system used in India. It declares the candidate with the highest number of votes in a constituency as the winner. FPTP is used in direct elections to the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies.
