Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 26,299 votes, 1.0× the 25,301-vote margin.

    26,299 ÷ 25,301 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 78.3% of votes; the other 9 candidates 21.7% between them.

    (65,520 + 40,219) ÷ 1,34,994 = 78.3% · 29,255 ÷ 1,34,994 = 21.7%

  3. Turnout of 66.6% was 17.1 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    66.6 − 83.7 = −17.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 36.8 pp in 2011 to 18.7 pp.

    18.7 − 36.8 = −18.1 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2011.
