Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 47,914 votes, 1.9× the 25,884-vote margin.

    47,914 ÷ 25,884 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 70.5% of votes; the other 7 candidates 29.5% between them.

    (82,429 + 56,545) ÷ 1,97,086 = 70.5% · 58,112 ÷ 1,97,086 = 29.5%

  3. Turnout of 57.8% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    57.8 − 60.5 = −2.7

  4. The margin widened from 10.6 pp in 2012 to 13.1 pp.

    13.1 − 10.6 = +2.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SP in 2012, BJP in 2017.
