Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 57,821 votes, 4.1× the 14,013-vote margin.

    57,821 ÷ 14,013 = 4.1

  2. The top two polled 64.5% of votes; the other 11 candidates 35.5% between them.

    (72,325 + 58,312) ÷ 2,02,597 = 64.5% · 71,960 ÷ 2,02,597 = 35.5%

  3. Turnout of 66.2% was 5.7 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    66.2 − 60.5 = +5.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.8 pp in 2012 to 6.9 pp.

    6.9 − 14.8 = −7.9 pp

  5. Ram Murti Verma, the 2012 winner, finished second in 2017.

    2012 winner name = 2017 runner-up name
