Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 18,378 votes, 1.4× the 13,155-vote margin.

    18,378 ÷ 13,155 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 7 candidates 17.8% between them.

    (53,507 + 40,352) ÷ 1,14,116 = 82.2% · 20,257 ÷ 1,14,116 = 17.8%

  3. Turnout of 67.5% was 16.2 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    67.5 − 83.7 = −16.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 21.5 pp in 2011 to 11.5 pp.

    11.5 − 21.5 = −10.0 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2011.
