Winner vote count 122,630 from BSS (official result center announcement, 13 Feb 2026); Bangla Stream reports 121,098 and RisingBD reports 121,098 -- slight discrepancy likely due to unofficial vs official tallying sequence; BSS figure treated as authoritative. Runner-up vote count 92,890 per BSS; Bangla Stream gives 92,170. Total valid votes not confirmed from any single source; vote_share_percent left null to avoid fabrication.
