Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 40,693 votes, 3.9× the 10,553-vote margin.
40,693 ÷ 10,553 = 3.9
The top two polled 72.8% of votes; the other 10 candidates 27.2% between them.
(83,241 + 72,688) ÷ 2,14,307 = 72.8% · 58,378 ÷ 2,14,307 = 27.2%
Turnout of 55.5% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).
55.5 − 60.3 = −4.8
