Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 5,128 votes, 1.4× the 3,748-vote margin.

    5,128 ÷ 3,748 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 93.3% of votes; the other 12 candidates 6.4% between them.

    (81,864 + 78,116) ÷ 1,71,492 = 93.3% · 11,058 ÷ 1,71,492 = 6.4%

  3. Turnout of 60.1% was 0.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.8%).

    60.1 − 60.8 = −0.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.4 pp in 2002 to 2.2 pp.

    2.2 − 12.4 = −10.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2002, BJP in 2007.
