Arithmetic · working shown
  1. The top two polled 89.9% of votes; the other 22 candidates 10.1% between them.

    (1,32,609 + 71,283) ÷ 2,26,842 = 89.9% · 22,950 ÷ 2,26,842 = 10.1%
  2. Turnout of 55.0% was 5.5 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    55.0 − 60.5 = −5.5
  3. The margin widened from 7.1 pp in 2012 to 27.0 pp.

    27.0 − 7.1 = +19.9 pp
