Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 40,381 votes, 1.7× the 24,179-vote margin.
40,381 ÷ 24,179 = 1.7
The top two polled 76.6% of votes; the other 10 candidates 23.4% between them.
(94,273 + 70,094) ÷ 2,14,704 = 76.6% · 50,337 ÷ 2,14,704 = 23.4%
Turnout of 58.4% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).
