Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 32,507 votes, 2.0× the 16,136-vote margin.

    32,507 ÷ 16,136 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 62.7% of votes; the other 11 candidates 37.3% between them.

    (65,267 + 49,131) ÷ 1,82,425 = 62.7% · 68,027 ÷ 1,82,425 = 37.3%

  3. Turnout of 60.6% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    60.6 − 59.4 = +1.2

  4. The margin held at 8.8 pp, as in 2007.

    8.8 − 8.8 = 0.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BSP in 2007, SP in 2012.
