Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 92,848 votes, 6.7× the 13,884-vote margin.

    92,848 ÷ 13,884 = 6.7

  2. The top two polled 79.5% of votes; the other 13 candidates 19.3% between them.

    (3,58,440 + 3,44,556) ÷ 8,84,033 = 79.5% · 1,70,485 ÷ 8,84,033 = 19.3%

  3. Turnout of 76.8% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (73.4%).

    76.8 − 73.4 = +3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.0 pp in 2009 to 1.6 pp.

    1.6 − 9.0 = −7.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2009, IND in 2014.
