Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed RKP polled 13,562 votes, 1.8× the 7,717-vote margin.
13,562 ÷ 7,717 = 1.8
The top two polled 64.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 35.4% between them.
(44,334 + 36,617) ÷ 1,25,231 = 64.6% · 44,279 ÷ 1,25,231 = 35.4%
Turnout of 44.1% was 11.7 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
44.1 − 55.8 = −11.7
