Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 1,934 votes, 1.4× the 1,369-vote margin.
1,934 ÷ 1,369 = 1.4
The top two polled 84.3% of votes; the other 8 candidates 15.7% between them.
(22,335 + 20,966) ÷ 51,346 = 84.3% · 8,045 ÷ 51,346 = 15.7%
Turnout of 60.1% was 5.2 pp below the state's median seat (65.3%).
60.1 − 65.3 = −5.2
