Provenance & notes

Winner vote count (120,128) confirmed by BSS news (government news agency) and The Financial Express. Runner-up Md. Saiful Islam (BNP) received 117,703 votes; margin 2,425. Wikipedia's Rangpur-6 article gives different figures (118,890 / 116,919, margin 1,971) but these conflict with BSS; BSS figures used as primary. Total valid votes for this constituency not published at time of verification; vote_share_percent and margin_percent cannot be derived without that denominator. EC affidavit for Nurul Amin not publicly accessible; wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases left null per rules. Age and formal education not verifiable from any accessible source; occupation_pre_politics inferred from 'Mawlana' honorific and multiple sources describing him as an Islamic speaker. Parliament assumed office 17 February 2026 per Wikipedia. Committee memberships not yet assigned or not published as of 2026-05-17. CONTROVERSY: This is Sheikh Hasina's former seat. Hasina won it in 2008 but vacated it in favour of Gopalganj-3; it was held by Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury (AL) from 2014 through the 12th parliament. After the AL was barred from the 2026 election, the seat became a BNP-Jamaat contest. BNP supporters staged protests and a DC-office blockade on 14 February demanding a recount. On 16 February, six sealed ballot papers (two stamped for BNP's paddy-sheaf symbol, four for the constitutional referendum) were found at a polling station school in Pirganj; a crowd confined the UNO and damaged her vehicle. BNP candidate Saiful Islam subsequently filed a petition in the High Court challenging the result. The case status is unresolved as of verification date. Wikipedia's 13th Jatiya Sangsad list incorrectly lists this seat as BNP; BSS, Financial Express, and bdnews24 all confirm Jamaat.
