Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 21,435 votes, 2.0× the 10,771-vote margin.

    21,435 ÷ 10,771 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 89.3% of votes; the other 1 candidate 10.7% between them.

    (95,203 + 84,432) ÷ 2,01,070 = 89.3% · 21,435 ÷ 2,01,070 = 10.7%

  3. Turnout of 85.2% was 1.5 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    85.2 − 83.7 = +1.5

  4. The margin widened from 4.4 pp in 2014 to 5.4 pp.

    5.4 − 4.4 = +1.0 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2014.
