Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 22,992 votes, 2.2× the 10,672-vote margin.
22,992 ÷ 10,672 = 2.2
The top two polled 70.6% of votes; the other 8 candidates 29.4% between them.
(39,859 + 29,187) ÷ 97,765 = 70.6% · 28,719 ÷ 97,765 = 29.4%
Turnout of 58.7% was 6.2 pp below the state's median seat (64.9%).
58.7 − 64.9 = −6.2
