Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 22,040 votes, 2.8× the 7,757-vote margin.

    22,040 ÷ 7,757 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 83.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 16.8% between them.

    (67,214 + 59,457) ÷ 1,52,275 = 83.2% · 25,604 ÷ 1,52,275 = 16.8%

  3. Turnout of 76.8% was 6.9 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    76.8 − 83.7 = −6.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.1 pp in 2011 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 10.1 = −5.0 pp

  5. Jahanara Khan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
