Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed NLP polled 14,751 votes, 1.5× the 9,578-vote margin.
14,751 ÷ 9,578 = 1.5
The top two polled 63.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 37.0% between them.
(48,011 + 38,433) ÷ 1,37,208 = 63.0% · 50,763 ÷ 1,37,208 = 37.0%
Turnout of 65.8% was 10.0 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).
65.8 − 55.8 = +10.0
