Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 19,493 votes, 2.2× the 8,971-vote margin.

    19,493 ÷ 8,971 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 75.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 24.6% between them.

    (56,864 + 47,893) ÷ 1,39,013 = 75.4% · 34,256 ÷ 1,39,013 = 24.6%

  3. Turnout of 70.2% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (66.9%).

    70.2 − 66.9 = +3.3

  4. The margin widened from 6.0 pp in 2004 to 6.5 pp.

    6.5 − 6.0 = +0.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IND in 2004, INC in 2009.
