Winner vote count (205,118) and runner-up vote count (190,703) confirmed by two independent BSS articles (360987 and 360671). A one-off search snippet cited 203,887 for Zahid; this appears to be a partial/unofficial tally. BSS 360987 is the definitive post-result report and gives 205,118, consistent with 360671. Raw vote margin = 14,415. Total valid votes not reported by any source; vote_share_percent and margin_percent therefore null. Runner-up confirmed as Md. Anwarul Islam (Jamaat-e-Islami) per BSS 360987 and BSS district/361164; BSS 360671 mistakenly labels him 'Independent', contradicted by the more detailed result article. Constituency upazilas (Hakimpur, Birampur, Ghoraghat, Nawabganj) confirmed by BSS 360671 and Wikipedia. Cabinet roles (Women and Children Affairs + Social Welfare) confirmed per appointment 17 February 2026, Wikipedia and BSS 379732. Party role as Standing Committee Member (appointed 16 August 2024) and Vice-Chairman confirmed Wikipedia. term_count = 1: first-time MP; age 65 at time of election (born 25 December 1960, elected 12 February 2026). EC affidavit wealth and criminal_cases are null: EC affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at verification date. BSS life-sketch (379732) references 48 politically motivated cases filed during Awami League era, but these are self-reported characterisations, not EC-verified; criminal_cases left empty per schema rule requiring EC affidavit as sole source. committee_memberships left empty: parliament.gov.bd was unreachable; as a full cabinet minister, parliamentary committee assignments are typically limited.
