Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 29,250 votes, 5.2× the 5,590-vote margin.
29,250 ÷ 5,590 = 5.2
The top two polled 80.1% of votes; the other 10 candidates 19.9% between them.
(91,474 + 85,884) ÷ 2,21,457 = 80.1% · 44,099 ÷ 2,21,457 = 19.9%
Turnout of 58.1% was 2.2 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).
58.1 − 60.3 = −2.2
