Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 15,428 votes, 1.3× the 11,908-vote margin.

    15,428 ÷ 11,908 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 90.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 9.2% between them.

    (90,773 + 78,865) ÷ 1,86,733 = 90.8% · 17,095 ÷ 1,86,733 = 9.2%

  3. Turnout of 88.1% was 4.4 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    88.1 − 83.7 = +4.4

  4. The margin widened from 5.2 pp in 2011 to 6.4 pp.

    6.4 − 5.2 = +1.2 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2011.
