Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 46,528 votes, 4.0× the 11,620-vote margin.
46,528 ÷ 11,620 = 4.0
The top two polled 74.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 25.4% between them.
(89,586 + 77,966) ÷ 2,24,461 = 74.6% · 56,909 ÷ 2,24,461 = 25.4%
Turnout of 59.7% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
