Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed DMK polled 49,465 votes, 1.8× the 28,172-vote margin.
49,465 ÷ 28,172 = 1.8
The top two polled 68.5% of votes; the other 21 candidates 31.3% between them.
(79,500 + 51,328) ÷ 1,91,122 = 68.5% · 59,774 ÷ 1,91,122 = 31.3%
Turnout of 91.2% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
91.2 − 86.6 = +4.6
The margin widened from 1.6 pp in 2021 to 14.7 pp.
14.7 − 1.6 = +13.1 pp
