Winner vote count 108,560 confirmed by Financial Express and Wikipedia (Nilphamari-3 article). BSS reports 109,686 -- discrepancy of 1,126 votes; Financial Express specifies '105 centres' suggesting a partial or slightly earlier count while BSS may reflect final certified result. Wikipedia vote share of 52.8% is consistent with 108,560 as numerator over approx 205,606 total valid votes (108560/0.528 = 205,606; this total not confirmed from a primary source, hence total_valid_votes is null). Runner-up Syed Ali (BNP) received 89,102 votes per Financial Express and Wikipedia; BSS gives 89,807. The Financial Express figure is used as it was cross-corroborated by Wikipedia. Margin: 108,560 - 89,102 = 19,458 votes (confirmed by Wikipedia narrative). Constituency covers Jaldhaka Upazila only per Wikipedia and viewsbangladesh. Registered voters: 275,342 (140,071 male, 135,270 female, 1 transgender) per viewsbangladesh.com.
