Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 33,878 votes, 1.5× the 23,358-vote margin.

    33,878 ÷ 23,358 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 72.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 27.9% between them.

    (81,899 + 58,541) ÷ 1,94,672 = 72.1% · 54,232 ÷ 1,94,672 = 27.9%

  3. Turnout of 51.2% was 9.3 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    51.2 − 60.5 = −9.3

  4. The margin widened from 5.1 pp in 2012 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 5.1 = +6.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SP in 2012, ADS in 2017.
