Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AD polled 33,707 votes, 3.7× the 9,187-vote margin.

    33,707 ÷ 9,187 = 3.7

  2. The top two polled 49.0% of votes; the other 27 candidates 51.0% between them.

    (49,138 + 39,951) ÷ 1,81,651 = 49.0% · 92,562 ÷ 1,81,651 = 51.0%

  3. Turnout of 51.9% was 7.5 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    51.9 − 59.4 = −7.5

  4. The margin widened from 2.3 pp in 2007 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 2.3 = +2.8 pp

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