Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 22,933 votes, 6.7× the 3,439-vote margin.
22,933 ÷ 3,439 = 6.7
The top two polled 83.2% of votes; the other 12 candidates 16.8% between them.
(78,555 + 75,116) ÷ 1,84,729 = 83.2% · 31,058 ÷ 1,84,729 = 16.8%
Turnout of 56.7% was 3.6 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).
56.7 − 60.3 = −3.6
