Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 47,297 votes, 2.6× the 18,319-vote margin.
47,297 ÷ 18,319 = 2.6
The top two polled 72.5% of votes; the other 12 candidates 27.5% between them.
(77,504 + 59,185) ÷ 1,88,573 = 72.5% · 51,884 ÷ 1,88,573 = 27.5%
Turnout of 56.7% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).
56.7 − 60.5 = −3.8
The margin widened from 6.0 pp in 2012 to 9.7 pp.
9.7 − 6.0 = +3.7 pp
Gorakh Paswan, the 2012 winner, finished second in 2017.
