Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 33,241 votes, 1.2× the 28,405-vote margin.
33,241 ÷ 28,405 = 1.2
The top two polled 76.4% of votes; the other 12 candidates 23.6% between them.
(82,867 + 54,462) ÷ 1,79,720 = 76.4% · 42,391 ÷ 1,79,720 = 23.6%
Turnout of 57.1% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
