Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 42,551 votes, 1.6× the 26,244-vote margin.
42,551 ÷ 26,244 = 1.6
The top two polled 72.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 27.3% between them.
(81,994 + 55,750) ÷ 1,89,340 = 72.7% · 51,596 ÷ 1,89,340 = 27.3%
Turnout of 54.3% was 6.0 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).
