Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 37,434 votes, 16× the 2,336-vote margin.

    37,434 ÷ 2,336 = 16.0

  2. The top two polled 51.7% of votes; the other 26 candidates 48.3% between them.

    (47,980 + 45,644) ÷ 1,81,126 = 51.7% · 87,502 ÷ 1,81,126 = 48.3%

  3. Turnout of 52.2% was 7.2 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    52.2 − 59.4 = −7.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.2 pp in 2007 to 1.3 pp.

    1.3 − 15.2 = −13.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BSP in 2007, BJP in 2012.
