Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 31,615 votes, 3.2× the 9,917-vote margin.
31,615 ÷ 9,917 = 3.2
The top two polled 63.2% of votes; the other 7 candidates 36.8% between them.
(48,831 + 38,914) ÷ 1,38,794 = 63.2% · 51,041 ÷ 1,38,794 = 36.8%
Turnout of 59.9% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).
59.9 − 55.8 = +4.1
