Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 14,991 votes, 1.2× the 12,523-vote margin.

    14,991 ÷ 12,523 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 87.9% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.1% between them.

    (84,979 + 72,456) ÷ 1,79,137 = 87.9% · 21,702 ÷ 1,79,137 = 12.1%

  3. Turnout of 84.2% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.2 − 83.7 = +0.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.8 pp in 2011 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 7.8 = −0.8 pp

  5. Swapan Bouri also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
