Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 43,820 votes, 19× the 2,348-vote margin.

    43,820 ÷ 2,348 = 18.7

  2. The top two polled 59.7% of votes; the other 12 candidates 40.3% between them.

    (76,307 + 73,959) ÷ 2,51,909 = 59.7% · 1,01,643 ÷ 2,51,909 = 40.3%

  3. Turnout of 70.8% was 10.3 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    70.8 − 60.5 = +10.3

  4. The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 2012 to 0.9 pp.

    0.9 − 0.8 = +0.1 pp

  5. Aneesurrehman, the 2012 winner, finished second in 2017.

    2012 winner name = 2017 runner-up name
