Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 20,692 votes, 2.5× the 8,234-vote margin.

    20,692 ÷ 8,234 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 71.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 28.4% between them.

    (32,633 + 24,399) ÷ 79,605 = 71.6% · 22,573 ÷ 79,605 = 28.4%

  3. Turnout of 55.7% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    55.7 − 58.2 = −2.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.4 pp in 2003 to 10.3 pp.

    10.3 − 14.4 = −4.1 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 2003.
