Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 48,506 votes, 1.8× the 27,236-vote margin.

    48,506 ÷ 27,236 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 72.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 27.9% between them.

    (84,068 + 56,832) ÷ 1,95,405 = 72.1% · 54,505 ÷ 1,95,405 = 27.9%

  3. Turnout of 59.6% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    59.6 − 60.5 = −0.9

  4. The margin widened from 5.3 pp in 2012 to 13.9 pp.

    13.9 − 5.3 = +8.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SP in 2012, BJP in 2017.
