Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 38,803 votes, 7.0× the 5,514-vote margin.
38,803 ÷ 5,514 = 7.0
The top two polled 76.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 23.1% between them.
(78,995 + 73,481) ÷ 1,98,398 = 76.9% · 45,922 ÷ 1,98,398 = 23.1%
Turnout of 55.1% was 5.2 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).
55.1 − 60.3 = −5.2
The margin narrowed from 9.7 pp in 2017 to 2.8 pp.
