BSS article gives slightly different counts (140,608 and 136,239) likely from preliminary results; Wikipedia figures used as they are internally consistent: 139207/285961=48.68%, 134618/285961=47.07%, margin 4589/285961=1.60pp. Bangla name sourced from Prothom Alo coverage. Party role from BSS campaign article and Prothom Alo removal article (was 'joint secretary, Dinajpur district BNP' then elevated to divisional joint organising secretary). No EC affidavit data accessed: Bangladesh EC affidavit portal not publicly accessible at time of research; wealth and criminal_cases set to null/empty per schema rules. Supreme Court contempt conviction (1 month imprisonment, Tk1 lakh fine for derogatory remarks about Justice Enayetur Rahim in 2023) is a past concluded matter, NOT listed in criminal_cases as that field is for ongoing EC-affidavit cases only. No committee memberships or cabinet appointment confirmed. Syed Jahangir Alam was BNP's alternative candidate for the seat previously held by Khaleda Zia (Dinajpur-3). Three mayoral terms (2011 onwards) constitute his pre-parliamentary political career. Education, age, and EC affidavit wealth not found in any accessible source. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
