Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 39,462 votes, 25× the 1,555-vote margin.

    39,462 ÷ 1,555 = 25.4

  2. The top two polled 68.3% of votes; the other 11 candidates 31.4% between them.

    (55,598 + 54,043) ÷ 1,60,582 = 68.3% · 50,406 ÷ 1,60,582 = 31.4%

  3. Turnout of 69.1% was 1.4 pp above the state's median seat (67.7%).

    69.1 − 67.7 = +1.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.8 pp in 2013 to 1.0 pp.

    1.0 − 6.8 = −5.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2013, AAP in 2015.
