Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,17,653 votes, 2.5× the 87,107-vote margin.

    2,17,653 ÷ 87,107 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 72.5% of votes; the other 10 candidates 26.7% between them.

    (5,26,499 + 4,39,392) ÷ 13,32,409 = 72.5% · 3,55,109 ÷ 13,32,409 = 26.7%

  3. Turnout of 82.6% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (83.0%).

    82.6 − 83.0 = −0.4

  4. The margin widened from 3.0 pp in 2009 to 6.5 pp.

    6.5 − 3.0 = +3.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIFB in 2009, AITC in 2014.
