Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed JNP(JP) polled 7,951 votes, 2.0× the 3,915-vote margin.
7,951 ÷ 3,915 = 2.0
The top two polled 82.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 15.9% between them.
(22,488 + 18,573) ÷ 50,013 = 82.1% · 7,951 ÷ 50,013 = 15.9%
Turnout of 57.0% was 11.2 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).
57.0 − 45.8 = +11.2
