Arithmetic · working shown

The top two polled 79.8% of votes; the other 28 candidates 18.6% between them.
(4,13,848 + 1,69,159) ÷ 7,30,549 = 79.8% · 1,35,878 ÷ 7,30,549 = 18.6%
Turnout of 54.1% was 16.9 pp below the state's median seat (71.0%).
54.1 − 71.0 = −16.9
The margin narrowed from 38.4 pp in 2019 to 33.5 pp.
33.5 − 38.4 = −4.9 pp
