Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 71,019 votes, 2.8× the 25,586-vote margin.
71,019 ÷ 25,586 = 2.8
The top two polled 67.1% of votes; the other 11 candidates 32.9% between them.
(97,035 + 71,449) ÷ 2,50,983 = 67.1% · 82,499 ÷ 2,50,983 = 32.9%
Turnout of 74.6% was 14.1 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).
74.6 − 60.5 = +14.1
