Recent activity

Provenance & notes

CONSTITUENCY NUMBER CORRECTION: The task brief specified constituency 159, but the verified EC number for Tangail-6 (Delduar + Nagarpur upazilas) is 135. This is confirmed by: (1) Wikipedia Tangail-6 article navigation showing 134 Tangail-5 and 136 Tangail-7 flanking this constituency; (2) nagarpur.tangail.gov.bd official government notice titled '135, Tangail-6 (Nagarpur) MP Election Result'; (3) List of members of the 13th Jatiya Sangsad Wikipedia listing Md. Rabiul Awal at constituency 135; (4) consistency with documented Tangail seat range 130-137 in this project's own records. Constituency 159 per Wikipedia 13th JS members list is Netrokona-2 (MP: Md. Anwarul Haque). File written as cnst_159.json per task brief; constituency_number field records the verified EC number 135. DIVISION CORRECTION: The task brief stated 'Mymensingh division' but Tangail district is in Dhaka Division per Wikipedia (article updated April 19, 2026), EC constituency maps, and the project's own prior notes on Tangail-2. The 2024 Public Administration Reform Commission recommended transferring Tangail to Mymensingh Division but this has not been implemented as of verification date. VOTE COUNTS: Winner 150,952, runner-up 91,914 per BSS (state news agency, direct EC senior secretary Akhtar Ahmed announcement, February 13, 2026); these figures are treated as official. An earlier informal count of 189,209 appeared in one source only and is superseded by the BSS official report. Vote share percentages and margin_percent are null: total valid votes not confirmed in any primary source (five additional deposit-forfeiting candidates also contested: Tarek Shams, Mamunur Rahim - Jatiya Party; Akhinur Mia - Islami Andolan Bangladesh; Jewel Sarkar and Ashraful Islam - Independents). Runner-up votes 91,914 confirmed by BSS. EC AFFIDAVIT: Wealth and criminal case data not published in any accessible Bangladeshi press or official source for this candidate; fields null per EC-only schema rule. BIOGRAPHICAL DATA: Age, education, and pre-politics occupation beyond Chhatra Dal role not reported in any available primary source; age and education left null. Party role as former central Chhatra Dal international affairs secretary confirmed by Prothom Alo. NAME SPELLING: Both 'Robiul Awal' (BSS) and 'Rabiul Awal' (Prothom Alo, Daily Star) appear; BSS spelling used as primary. Nickname 'Lavlu' widely used. Verification status 'partial': winner identity and vote counts confirmed from multiple independent sources; EC affidavit, committee assignments, and biographical details unconfirmed. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
