Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 20,442 votes, 1.8× the 11,234-vote margin.

    20,442 ÷ 11,234 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 65.6% of votes; the other 6 candidates 34.4% between them.

    (45,603 + 34,369) ÷ 1,21,927 = 65.6% · 41,955 ÷ 1,21,927 = 34.4%

  3. Turnout of 73.3% was 6.4 pp above the state's median seat (66.9%).

    73.3 − 66.9 = +6.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.5 pp in 2004 to 9.2 pp.

    9.2 − 9.5 = −0.3 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2004.
