Farhad Hossain Azad

Boundary redrawn 2024: EC gazette September 4, 2024 added the Boda Pourashova area of Atwari upazila to this constituency (previously in Panchagarh-1). Total valid votes figure (303,512) is the sum of the two reported candidates' votes; no additional candidates' votes were reported by BSS or Wikipedia, so this may equal total valid votes but cannot be confirmed as the official EC figure. Wealth and criminal case fields are null because no EC nomination affidavit data was accessible online (ec.org.bd affidavit PDFs not reachable). Education (BSc Political Science, Dhaka University) sourced from English Wikipedia only; Bangla Wikipedia does not specify the degree subject. term_count = 1 confirmed by BSS article explicitly stating first-time MP. Runner-up name spelled 'Safiul Alam' in BSS English; Bangla BSS gives 'মো. সফিউল আলম'. Cabinet role confirmed by TBS, BSS, and mowr.gov.bd.
