Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 15,425 votes, 1.2× the 13,389-vote margin.
15,425 ÷ 13,389 = 1.2
The top two polled 76.4% of votes; the other 10 candidates 23.6% between them.
(55,220 + 41,831) ÷ 1,27,058 = 76.4% · 30,006 ÷ 1,27,058 = 23.6%
Turnout of 53.8% was 7.3 pp above the state's median seat (46.5%).
53.8 − 46.5 = +7.3
The margin narrowed from 12.2 pp in 2002 to 10.5 pp.
10.5 − 12.2 = −1.7 pp
