Provenance & notes

Winner vote count 140,726 per BSS (primary source, state news agency) and Bangladesh Pratidin; runner-up Khandaker Ziaul Islam Mohammad Ali (BNP) 37,997 votes per BSS/Pratidin. Discrepancy: Jugantor and Nagorik TV report winner as 138,945 and runner-up as 37,851 -- likely early unofficial tally vs. final certified result; BSS figure used as authoritative. Total valid votes and vote share cannot be computed without EC-certified total; left null rather than imputed. Constituency covers Sundarganj Upazila only (15 unions + 1 municipality, 123 polling centres, 419,111 registered voters per Jugantor). MP's title 'Adhyapak' (Professor) confirmed across 3+ sources; teaches at an MPO-listed college -- institution name not yet identified. Party role (Naib-e-Amir, Gaibandha district Jamaat) and former Upazila Parishad Chairman role confirmed from Bangla search results but not yet cross-checked against a single primary document. Candidacy was initially invalidated on 2 Jan 2026 because of his teaching position; reinstated 5 Jan 2026 after EC ruled teaching does not bar candidacy (source: Daily Nayadiganta). Age, education details, EC affidavit wealth/income/criminal cases not found in accessible sources -- verification_status set to partial. No committee memberships or cabinet role reported. Won under Jamaat's 'beard' (dari) election symbol as part of the 11-party coalition. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
