Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 50,725 votes, 2.5× the 20,225-vote margin.
50,725 ÷ 20,225 = 2.5
The top two polled 67.5% of votes; the other 12 candidates 32.5% between them.
(72,044 + 51,819) ÷ 1,83,490 = 67.5% · 59,627 ÷ 1,83,490 = 32.5%
Turnout of 57.8% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
57.8 − 60.5 = −2.7
