Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 53,539 votes, 4.1× the 13,208-vote margin.
53,539 ÷ 13,208 = 4.1
The top two polled 71.1% of votes; the other 9 candidates 28.9% between them.
(88,411 + 75,203) ÷ 2,30,169 = 71.1% · 66,555 ÷ 2,30,169 = 28.9%
Turnout of 66.2% was 5.7 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).
66.2 − 60.5 = +5.7
The margin narrowed from 16.8 pp in 2012 to 5.7 pp.
