Arithmetic · working shown

The top two polled 70.4% of votes; the other 26 candidates 28.6% between them.
(5,40,729 + 1,47,991) ÷ 9,78,526 = 70.4% · 2,80,000 ÷ 9,78,526 = 28.6%
Turnout of 67.1% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (71.0%).
67.1 − 71.0 = −3.9
The margin widened from 35.0 pp in 2019 to 40.1 pp.
40.1 − 35.0 = +5.1 pp
