Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 11,861 votes, 2.7× the 4,416-vote margin.
11,861 ÷ 4,416 = 2.7
The top two polled 87.1% of votes; the other 23 candidates 12.9% between them.
(58,060 + 53,644) ÷ 1,28,269 = 87.1% · 16,565 ÷ 1,28,269 = 12.9%
Turnout of 79.9% was 4.0 pp below the state's median seat (83.9%).
79.9 − 83.9 = −4.0
The margin narrowed from 22.1 pp in 2011 to 3.4 pp.
3.4 − 22.1 = −18.7 pp
Siddeque Ahmed, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.
