Md. Sadiq Riaz Chowdhury Pinak

Winner vote count (144,317) confirmed by BSS official results page and Wikipedia. Runner-up vote count (101,831) from BSS and Wikipedia. Wikipedia reports 58.63% / 41.37% vote shares but these appear computed against winner+runner-up only (144,317+101,831=246,148), not total valid votes across all 8 candidates; vote_share_percent and total_valid_votes set to null pending official EC gazette. An earlier BSS district-news article cited 139,622 votes for winner (likely a mid-count unofficial figure); the BSS official results page and Wikipedia both confirm 144,317. Runner-up A.K.M. Afzalul Anam is Jamaat-e-Islami. Eight candidates contested (BNP, Jamaat, Jatiya Party, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Bangladesh Muslim League, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, 2 independents). Sadiq Riaz Chowdhury Pinak's father is Md Riazul Haque Chowdhury, former Dinajpur district municipality chairman, former president of Dinajpur Bar Association, and former Dinajpur district BNP vice-president. This is MP's first term. He is described as an industrialist and had been directly involved in politics for 4-5 years before the 2026 election. EC affidavit (wealth, criminal cases) not accessible via public URLs at time of verification; wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases set to null -- do not impute. A pre-nomination complaint by Dinajpur BNP leaders alleged he received business privileges during the previous AL regime and secured bail in a 2023 political case on recommendation of then State Minister Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury -- this is a complaint, not an EC-affidavit-confirmed case.
