The top two polled 81.6% of votes; the other 29 candidates 17.6% between them.
(5,68,692 + 3,52,990) ÷ 11,29,458 = 81.6% · 1,99,040 ÷ 11,29,458 = 17.6%
Turnout of 73.9% was 2.9 pp above the state's median seat (71.0%).
73.9 − 71.0 = +2.9
The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 2019 to 19.1 pp.
19.1 − 0.8 = +18.3 pp
