Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 11,111 votes, 1.1× the 10,322-vote margin.

    11,111 ÷ 10,322 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 85.2% of votes; the other 14 candidates 14.4% between them.

    (56,198 + 45,876) ÷ 1,19,852 = 85.2% · 17,281 ÷ 1,19,852 = 14.4%

  3. Turnout of 34.2% was 12.3 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).

    34.2 − 46.5 = −12.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.8 pp in 2002 to 8.6 pp.

    8.6 − 10.8 = −2.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AD in 2002, BSP in 2007.
