Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 24,650 votes, 7.7× the 3,193-vote margin.
24,650 ÷ 3,193 = 7.7
The top two polled 88.3% of votes; the other 14 candidates 11.7% between them.
(1,23,467 + 1,20,274) ÷ 2,75,950 = 88.3% · 32,209 ÷ 2,75,950 = 11.7%
Turnout of 58.6% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
58.6 − 60.5 = −1.9
The margin narrowed from 9.7 pp in 2012 to 1.2 pp.
