Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 18,316 votes, 2.2× the 8,156-vote margin.
18,316 ÷ 8,156 = 2.2
The top two polled 64.1% of votes; the other 9 candidates 35.9% between them.
(43,398 + 35,242) ÷ 1,22,730 = 64.1% · 44,089 ÷ 1,22,730 = 35.9%
Turnout of 53.3% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
53.3 − 55.8 = −2.5
