Name variant: Wikipedia uses 'Jahidur Rahman' as article title; BSS and bdnews24 consistently use 'Zahidur Rahman'. Both are valid transliterations of জাহিদুর রহমান. 'Md Zahidur Rahman' used as primary form per majority of news sources. Vote counts (132,797 and 91,934) confirmed by Wikipedia and BSS independently. Vote shares (59.09% and 40.91%) sum to 100%, meaning Wikipedia computed them as share of these two candidates combined (224,731 total); actual total valid votes including any minor candidates are not publicly reported and are set to null. Margin = 59.09 - 40.91 = 18.18 pp. Constituency covers Pirganj Upazila and parts of Ranisankail Upazila (Ranisankail Municipality plus six union parishads: Bachor, Hossain Gaon, Lehemba, Nonduar, Nekmarad, Raton), per Wikipedia. In 2019, he was expelled from BNP for taking oath in 11th Parliament against party directive, but was later reinstated (evidenced by his selection as BNP candidate in 2026). He resigned from 11th Parliament on 11 December 2022. Education, pre-politics occupation, party role, EC affidavit wealth, and criminal cases are not available from accessible public sources; EC affidavit PDF not publicly retrieved. criminal_cases set to empty list (not null) as no cases were reported in any source, but this is not confirmed from the EC affidavit directly. term_count set to 2 (11th + 13th parliaments). verification_status: partial, as biographical details (education, occupation, EC affidavit data) are unconfirmed.
