Lutfor Rahman Khan Matin

NUMBERING DISCREPANCY: The task brief specified this slot as constituency 157 (Tangail-4, Kalihati, Mymensingh division). All three claims are incorrect. (1) The true EC number for Tangail-4 is 133, confirmed by Wikipedia's List of constituencies of the Jatiya Sangsad, the Tangail-4 article, and the List of members of the 13th Jatiya Sangsad; constituency 157 = Netrokona-1 (Kalmakanda and Durgapur upazilas, represented by Kayser Kamal). (2) Tangail district is in Dhaka Division, not Mymensingh; confirmed by Wikipedia Tangail District article and Mymensingh Division article. Per schema rules, constituency_number is set to the true EC value (133). VOTE DATA: Raw counts confirmed by two independent sources (BD Pratidin English and Bangla editions): Matin 91,598; Siddiqui 53,574; raw margin 38,024; 114/114 centres. A second figure of 105,342 circulates in secondary search summaries but is not corroborated by any named primary source and is not used. Total valid votes not available from EC official portal at verification date; vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, and margin_percent left null to avoid deriving from an unconfirmed total. Registered electorate: 437,473 (2018 EC figure per Wikipedia). MP PROFILE: EC affidavit (wealth, income, criminal_cases) not publicly accessible; fields left null per EC-only rule. Age and education not found in any accessible primary source. Matin contested Tangail-4 in 2008 as BNP candidate but lost; 2026 is his first parliamentary term. He is an industrialist; Lutfor Rahman Matin Mohila College in Tangail bears his name. In 2016 he briefly withdrew from BNP amid controversy over association with former AL minister Abdul Latif Siddiqui (Finance Today, Nov 2025). boundary_redrawn_2024: no EC gazette change found for this constituency. File correctly named cnst_157.json per the task slot assignment.
