Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed JD polled 1,23,064 votes, 3.7× the 32,850-vote margin.
1,23,064 ÷ 32,850 = 3.7
The top two polled 55.2% of votes; the other 19 candidates 42.1% between them.
(2,02,132 + 1,69,282) ÷ 6,73,128 = 55.2% · 2,83,147 ÷ 6,73,128 = 42.1%
Turnout of 64.9% was 3.0 pp above the state's median seat (61.9%).
64.9 − 61.9 = +3.0
The margin narrowed from 7.9 pp in 1985 to 4.9 pp.
4.9 − 7.9 = −3.0 pp
