Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed AIADMK polled 53,986 votes, 48× the 1,131-vote margin.
53,986 ÷ 1,131 = 47.7
The top two polled 69.7% of votes; the other 18 candidates 29.9% between them.
(74,489 + 73,358) ÷ 2,12,024 = 69.7% · 63,344 ÷ 2,12,024 = 29.9%
Turnout of 87.3% was 0.7 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
87.3 − 86.6 = +0.7
The margin narrowed from 9.2 pp in 2021 to 0.5 pp.
