Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed DMK polled 55,565 votes, 20× the 2,739-vote margin.
55,565 ÷ 2,739 = 20.3
The top two polled 64.2% of votes; the other 22 candidates 35.6% between them.
(60,795 + 58,056) ÷ 1,85,213 = 64.2% · 65,972 ÷ 1,85,213 = 35.6%
Turnout of 87.1% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
87.1 − 86.6 = +0.5
The margin narrowed from 9.8 pp in 2021 to 1.5 pp.
