Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 17,418 votes, 1.1× the 15,403-vote margin.

    17,418 ÷ 15,403 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 81.4% of votes; the other 11 candidates 18.6% between them.

    (52,702 + 37,299) ÷ 1,10,594 = 81.4% · 20,593 ÷ 1,10,594 = 18.6%

  3. Turnout of 70.6% was 13.1 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    70.6 − 83.7 = −13.1

  4. The margin widened from 6.3 pp in 2011 to 13.9 pp.

    13.9 − 6.3 = +7.6 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2011.
