They really aren't comparable.
Even if we take these numbers at face value we're merely talking about 3 times more in capita terms. That boils down to you hiding behind a criteria you made up on the fly.

What territory does ASALA govern?
There haven't been an election since 2006. It's been 18 years. People that were not born back then could vote now. If there was one before October 7, 2023 and Israel didn't interfere, Hamas would likely lose. The greatest source of support for Hamas is Israeli brutality. Before October 7 support for Hamas was dwindling and much of the Gaza preferred Palestinian Authority taking over administration. Since October 7, however, Israeli forces demolished the parliament building in Gaza unrelated to any fighting. Right now, Hamas governs jack in Gaza. ASALA not governing any territory has no relevance. You seemingly ignoring Dashnak and Hunchak does though.
