Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 33,482 votes, 21× the 1,595-vote margin.

    33,482 ÷ 1,595 = 21.0

  2. NOTA polled 2,717 votes, 1.7× the winning margin of 1,595.

    2,717 ÷ 1,595 = 1.7

  3. The top two polled 79.2% of votes; the other 8 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (79,188 + 77,593) ÷ 1,98,008 = 79.2% · 41,227 ÷ 1,98,008 = 20.8%

  4. Turnout of 61.0% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    61.0 − 60.5 = +0.5

  5. The margin narrowed from 1.7 pp in 2012 to 0.8 pp.

    0.8 − 1.7 = −0.9 pp

  6. Yasar Shah also won in 2012.
