During a presidential election, the first‑round results are: Candidate A \(35\%\), Candidate B \(30\%\), Candidate C \(20\%\), Candidate D \(15\%\). No candidate exceeds \(50\%\), so a second round is held between the top two candidates. In the second round, \(10\%\) of Candidate B's first‑round voters switch to Candidate A, while the remaining B voters stay with B. All of Candidate C's voters split \(60\%\) to A and \(40\%\) to B, and all of Candidate D's voters split \(60\%\) to A and \(40\%\) to B. What are the final vote percentages for Candidates A and B, and which candidate wins?
