Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 32,641 votes, 2.0× the 16,467-vote margin.
32,641 ÷ 16,467 = 2.0
The top two polled 74.9% of votes; the other 12 candidates 25.1% between them.
(87,314 + 70,847) ÷ 2,11,236 = 74.9% · 53,075 ÷ 2,11,236 = 25.1%
Turnout of 59.8% was 0.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
59.8 − 60.5 = −0.7
The margin narrowed from 8.0 pp in 2012 to 7.8 pp.
7.8 − 8.0 = −0.2 pp
