Arithmetic · working shown

The top two polled 83.0% of votes; the other 26 candidates 15.2% between them.
(5,59,422 + 3,90,308) ÷ 11,44,383 = 83.0% · 1,73,556 ÷ 11,44,383 = 15.2%
Turnout of 49.9% was 7.3 pp below the state's median seat (57.2%).
49.9 − 57.2 = −7.3
The margin narrowed from 24.8 pp in 2019 to 14.8 pp.
14.8 − 24.8 = −10.0 pp
