Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed LKD polled 13,441 votes, 1.1× the 12,732-vote margin.
13,441 ÷ 12,732 = 1.1
The top two polled 91.6% of votes; the other 29 candidates 7.0% between them.
(2,64,765 + 2,52,033) ÷ 5,63,908 = 91.6% · 39,629 ÷ 5,63,908 = 7.0%
Turnout of 57.1% was 9.3 pp below the state's median seat (66.4%).
57.1 − 66.4 = −9.3
The margin widened from 0.6 pp in 1980 to 2.3 pp.
