Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed SP polled 49,692 votes, 2.6× the 18,773-vote margin.
49,692 ÷ 18,773 = 2.6
The top two polled 63.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 36.4% between them.
(68,950 + 50,177) ÷ 1,87,314 = 63.6% · 68,187 ÷ 1,87,314 = 36.4%
Turnout of 57.8% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
57.8 − 60.5 = −2.7
