Arithmetic · working shown

The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 24 candidates 8.3% between them.
(5,57,130 + 4,19,630) ÷ 10,74,589 = 90.9% · 89,380 ÷ 10,74,589 = 8.3%
Turnout of 55.6% was 13.3 pp below the state's median seat (68.9%).
55.6 − 68.9 = −13.3
The margin widened from 4.2 pp in 2009 to 12.8 pp.
12.8 − 4.2 = +8.6 pp
