verification_status=partial: MP identity (Md. Afjal Hossain, Jamaat-e-Islami) confirmed by BSS official constituency result, Wikipedia 13th JS list, and BD Pratidin. Vote count discrepancy: BSS constituency article (bssnews.net/national-parlament-election-2026/360866) gives winner 148,201 and runner-up 139,603 (margin 8,598); BD Pratidin and TBS early reports cite 146,204 and 138,574 (margin 7,630) as unofficial counts from 152 polling centres before final tabulation. BSS constituency article used as authoritative (final official count). A third candidate Tarun Kumar Ghosh (BMJP) also contested; vote count not found in accessible sources, so total_valid_votes and vote_share_percent cannot be computed without risk of error -- left null per data-integrity policy. Registered voters: 424,416 across 152 centres (TBS). MP is a businessman and Nayeb-e-Ameer of Kumarkhali upazila Jamaat unit, and former Kumarkhali Upazila Parishad Vice Chairman (local government role, not a Jatiya Sangsad term -- listed in prior_terms for context but flagged accordingly). Prior JS terms: none (first-time MP). EC affidavit (wealth, criminal cases) not publicly accessible at time of verification -- not imputed. name_bangla is transliterated from standard Bangla rendering; not confirmed from official EC or parliament source -- treat as provisional. Bangla script: parliament.gov.bd member list was not fetchable; no official Bangla name source found. 13th Parliament sworn in February 12, 2026.
