Vote share (65.2%) and runner-up share (30.6%) computed from BSS winner count and Wikipedia total valid votes (225,836), which is the only total available. Margin (34.6 pp) likewise derived. Registered electorate: 375,227 (Wikipedia). Turnout: approx 60.2% (Wikipedia) vs 60.89% per BSS; the BSS figure may use slightly different denominator. Boundary change: EC expanded constituency in 2026 to add ward 9 of Rangpur City Corporation (boundary_redrawn_2024 set to true as it was a pre-2026-election delimitation change). Historical context: Rangpur-1 was an Ershad-JP stronghold (Ershad himself won here in 1991); Jatiya Party failed to contest or retain any Rangpur seat in 2026 -- JP was routed across all six Rangpur constituencies. Raihan Siraji is described in pre-election coverage as a 'popular educationist, good speaker and social worker'; referred to as 'Professor' in one source.
