Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed LJP polled 17,777 votes, 3.6× the 4,990-vote margin.

    17,777 ÷ 4,990 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 55.5% of votes; the other 22 candidates 44.5% between them.

    (32,006 + 27,016) ÷ 1,06,346 = 55.5% · 47,324 ÷ 1,06,346 = 44.5%

  3. Turnout of 55.9% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    55.9 − 58.2 = −2.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 33.1 pp in 2003 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 33.1 = −28.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2003, BJP in 2008.
