Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 8,917 votes, 8.0× the 1,114-vote margin.

    8,917 ÷ 1,114 = 8.0

  2. The top two polled 68.8% of votes; the other 10 candidates 31.2% between them.

    (33,235 + 32,121) ÷ 95,043 = 68.8% · 29,687 ÷ 95,043 = 31.2%

  3. Turnout of 58.7% was 8.2 pp below the state's median seat (66.9%).

    58.7 − 66.9 = −8.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.6 pp in 2004 to 1.2 pp.

    1.2 − 9.6 = −8.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2004, BJD in 2009.
