Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (1,06,878 + 63,391) ÷ 1,94,142 = 87.7% · 23,873 ÷ 1,94,142 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 77.6% was 6.1 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    77.6 − 83.7 = −6.1

  3. The margin widened from 15.1 pp in 2011 to 22.4 pp.

    22.4 − 15.1 = +7.3 pp

  4. Iqbal Ahmed also won in 2011.
