Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 28,152 votes, 1.1× the 25,654-vote margin.
28,152 ÷ 25,654 = 1.1
The top two polled 79.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 21.0% between them.
(76,175 + 50,521) ÷ 1,60,470 = 79.0% · 33,774 ÷ 1,60,470 = 21.0%
Turnout of 51.9% was 8.6 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
51.9 − 60.5 = −8.6
