Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed JD(U) polled 23,745 votes, 4.1× the 5,753-vote margin.
23,745 ÷ 5,753 = 4.1
The top two polled 59.2% of votes; the other 16 candidates 40.8% between them.
(38,109 + 32,356) ÷ 1,18,998 = 59.2% · 48,530 ÷ 1,18,998 = 40.8%
Turnout of 49.5% was 6.3 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
49.5 − 55.8 = −6.3

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
