Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 1,27,270 votes, 13× the 9,627-vote margin.
1,27,270 ÷ 9,627 = 13.2
The top two polled 68.8% of votes; the other 20 candidates 30.6% between them.
(3,21,982 + 3,12,355) ÷ 9,21,761 = 68.8% · 2,81,972 ÷ 9,21,761 = 30.6%
Turnout of 47.2% was 9.4 pp below the state's median seat (56.6%).
47.2 − 56.6 = −9.4
The margin narrowed from 26.9 pp in 2009 to 1.0 pp.
1.0 − 26.9 = −25.9 pp
