Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 39,851 votes, 2.5× the 16,055-vote margin.
39,851 ÷ 16,055 = 2.5
The top two polled 73.9% of votes; the other 8 candidates 26.1% between them.
(78,028 + 61,973) ÷ 1,89,424 = 73.9% · 49,423 ÷ 1,89,424 = 26.1%
Turnout of 55.7% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
55.7 − 60.5 = −4.8
The margin narrowed from 12.0 pp in 2012 to 8.5 pp.
