Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,70,828 votes, 1.5× the 1,14,479-vote margin.

    1,70,828 ÷ 1,14,479 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 78.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 20.6% between them.

    (5,74,660 + 4,60,181) ÷ 13,20,922 = 78.3% · 2,72,130 ÷ 13,20,922 = 20.6%

  3. Turnout of 86.2% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (83.0%).

    86.2 − 83.0 = +3.2

  4. The margin widened from 5.3 pp in 2009 to 8.7 pp.

    8.7 − 5.3 = +3.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2009, AITC in 2014.
