Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 14,686 votes, 2.3× the 6,252-vote margin.

    14,686 ÷ 6,252 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 90.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.5% between them.

    (90,450 + 84,198) ÷ 1,93,082 = 90.5% · 18,434 ÷ 1,93,082 = 9.5%

  3. Turnout of 86.0% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    86.0 − 83.7 = +2.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.3 pp in 2011 to 3.2 pp.

    3.2 − 13.3 = −10.1 pp

  5. Basudev Mete, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
