Vinoj was the runner-up. The winning margin was 2,44,689 votes, equal to 34.01% of all valid votes.
The government JSON export gives winner and runner-up columns the same machine names. That causes the later runner-up values to overwrite the winner's party, symbol, category, gender, and vote total. Electionpedia does not publish those ambiguous fields here.

CHENNAI CENTRAL Lok Sabha Election Result 2024: Dayanidhi Maran Elected
An election result is a dated publication about a defined contest and reporting area. Certification status, ballot accounting and the voting system determine what the numbers can support.
A preliminary publication, an election-night update and a final certified result describe different stages. Electionpedia retains the source’s status rather than treating every displayed number as final. For historical research, the source version remains important because later corrections can change a total without changing the identity of the election.
A vote share needs a denominator: candidate votes, valid votes, ballots cast or another published base. Turnout can use a different base again. Compare the labels before comparing percentages. A margin in votes and a margin in percentage points answer related but different questions.
