Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed SP polled 53,238 votes, 1.6× the 32,393-vote margin.
53,238 ÷ 32,393 = 1.6
The top two polled 69.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 30.7% between them.
(86,786 + 54,393) ÷ 2,03,624 = 69.3% · 62,445 ÷ 2,03,624 = 30.7%
Turnout of 56.4% was 4.1 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
56.4 − 60.5 = −4.1
