Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BHARAT polled 5,022 votes, 1.2× the 4,229-vote margin.

    5,022 ÷ 4,229 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 85.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 14.7% between them.

    (38,179 + 33,950) ÷ 84,583 = 85.3% · 12,416 ÷ 84,583 = 14.7%

  3. Turnout of 53.7% was 7.1 pp below the state's median seat (60.8%).

    53.7 − 60.8 = −7.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.5 pp in 2002 to 5.0 pp.

    5.0 − 20.5 = −15.5 pp

  5. Bhalala Kanubhai Mepabhai also won in 2002.

    2002 winner name = 2007 winner name
