Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 38,667 votes, 1.3× the 29,855-vote margin.
38,667 ÷ 29,855 = 1.3
The top two polled 66.9% of votes; the other 13 candidates 33.1% between them.
(72,455 + 42,600) ÷ 1,71,945 = 66.9% · 56,890 ÷ 1,71,945 = 33.1%
Turnout of 55.1% was 5.4 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
55.1 − 60.5 = −5.4
