Arithmetic · working shown

The top two polled 88.7% of votes; the other 20 candidates 11.0% between them.
(5,46,248 + 3,66,341) ÷ 10,29,055 = 88.7% · 1,12,710 ÷ 10,29,055 = 11.0%
Turnout of 66.1% was 4.9 pp below the state's median seat (71.0%).
66.1 − 71.0 = −4.9
The margin widened from 12.6 pp in 2021 to 17.5 pp.
17.5 − 12.6 = +4.9 pp
Vijayakumar (Alias) VIJAY VASANTH also won in 2021.
