Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 17,222 votes, 8.0× the 2,140-vote margin.

    17,222 ÷ 2,140 = 8.0

  2. The top two polled 84.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 16.0% between them.

    (71,107 + 68,967) ÷ 1,66,806 = 84.0% · 26,732 ÷ 1,66,806 = 16.0%

  3. Turnout of 88.1% was 2.2 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    88.1 − 85.9 = +2.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 46.5 pp in 2006 to 1.3 pp.

    1.3 − 46.5 = −45.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AIFB in 2006, AITC in 2011.
