Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 32,787 votes, 5.7× the 5,734-vote margin.
32,787 ÷ 5,734 = 5.7
The top two polled 80.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 19.4% between them.
(83,299 + 77,565) ÷ 1,99,495 = 80.6% · 38,631 ÷ 1,99,495 = 19.4%
Turnout of 78.1% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (73.5%).
78.1 − 73.5 = +4.6
The margin widened from 2.5 pp in 2014 to 2.9 pp.
2.9 − 2.5 = +0.4 pp
Pradip Purohit, the 2014 winner, finished second in 2019.
