Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,419 votes, 2.2× the 2,863-vote margin.

    6,419 ÷ 2,863 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 92.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 7.8% between them.

    (72,028 + 69,165) ÷ 1,53,115 = 92.2% · 11,922 ÷ 1,53,115 = 7.8%

  3. Turnout of 83.7% was 2.2 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    83.7 − 85.9 = −2.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.5 pp in 2006 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 22.5 = −20.6 pp

  5. AIFB held the seat it won in 2006.
