Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 20,141 votes, 1.7× the 11,808-vote margin.
20,141 ÷ 11,808 = 1.7
The top two polled 61.4% of votes; the other 11 candidates 38.6% between them.
(39,532 + 27,724) ÷ 1,09,548 = 61.4% · 42,292 ÷ 1,09,548 = 38.6%
Turnout of 30.2% was 25.6 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
30.2 − 55.8 = −25.6
