Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 52,181 votes, 2.1× the 24,839-vote margin.
52,181 ÷ 24,839 = 2.1
The top two polled 74.4% of votes; the other 13 candidates 25.6% between them.
(98,850 + 74,011) ÷ 2,32,356 = 74.4% · 59,495 ÷ 2,32,356 = 25.6%
Turnout of 61.3% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).
61.3 − 60.5 = +0.8
The margin widened from 5.2 pp in 2012 to 10.7 pp.
