Provenance & notes

verification_status=partial: MP identity, party, and election win confirmed by 5+ sources (Wikipedia, BSS, BD Pratidin, Daily Star, TBS, Al Jazeera, Guernica 37 press release). Vote count 129,974 from BSS (announced at results center, February 13, 2026; labelled 'unofficial'); BD Pratidin gives a slightly different figure (128,467 winner, 103,663 runner-up, margin 24,804). BSS figure adopted as primary; BD Pratidin used to corroborate. Margin per BSS: 25,729. Total valid votes not available from any accessible source; vote share percent null accordingly. Registered voters in 2026: 404,560 (213,819 male, 190,737 female, 4 third-gender); turnout 70.63% per BD Pratidin. Constituency covers Santhia Upazila only (1 municipality + 10 unions: Ataikola, Bhulbaria, Dhopadaha, Dhulauri, Gourigram, Karanja, Kashinathpur, Khatupara, Nagdemra, Nandanpur). boundary_redrawn_2024=true: EC redrew boundary before the 2026 election, excluding Bera Municipality and four UPs of Bera Upazila (Chakla, Haturia Nakalia, Kytola, Nutan Bharenga). Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is in Pabna-4 (Ishwardi upazila), NOT Pabna-1. MP is son of late Jamaat Ameer Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami (executed 2016 for 1971 war crimes). Education sourced from Guernica 37 chambers website (via search snippet) and Legal500 profile cross-check; LLM at CCLS QMUL 2019 and Middle Temple call 2009 are consistent across sources. Age not found in any accessible primary source; left null.

Wikipedia lists the MP as 'Nazibur Rahman Momen'; BSS uses 'Mohammad Najibur Rahman'; BD Pratidin uses 'Barrister Nazibur Rahman Momen'; the Guernica 37 release and Barristers Register use 'Muhammad Nazibur Rahman'. All refer to the same person. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
