Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 33,271 votes, 5.3× the 6,267-vote margin.

    33,271 ÷ 6,267 = 5.3

  2. The top two polled 53.0% of votes; the other 14 candidates 47.0% between them.

    (48,193 + 41,926) ÷ 1,70,060 = 53.0% · 79,937 ÷ 1,70,060 = 47.0%

  3. Turnout of 58.8% was 12.3 pp above the state's median seat (46.5%).

    58.8 − 46.5 = +12.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.3 pp in 2002 to 3.7 pp.

    3.7 − 5.3 = −1.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2002, BSP in 2007.
