Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 30,175 votes, 6.0× the 5,065-vote margin.
30,175 ÷ 5,065 = 6.0
The top two polled 66.0% of votes; the other 22 candidates 34.0% between them.
(64,226 + 59,161) ÷ 1,87,023 = 66.0% · 63,636 ÷ 1,87,023 = 34.0%
Turnout of 55.9% was 4.6 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
55.9 − 60.5 = −4.6
The margin narrowed from 5.4 pp in 2012 to 2.7 pp.
2.7 − 5.4 = −2.7 pp
