Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 33,471 votes, 2.5× the 13,539-vote margin.

    33,471 ÷ 13,539 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 79.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 21.0% between them.

    (72,874 + 59,335) ÷ 1,67,270 = 79.0% · 35,061 ÷ 1,67,270 = 21.0%

  3. Turnout of 81.0% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (77.7%).

    81.0 − 77.7 = +3.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.6 pp in 2013 to 8.1 pp.

    8.1 − 15.6 = −7.5 pp

  5. T Raghumurthy also won in 2013.

    2013 winner name = 2018 winner name
