Provenance & notes
CONSTITUENCY NUMBER CORRECTION: The task brief assigned number 160, but the true EC number for Tangail-7 (Mirzapur upazila) is 136, confirmed by Wikipedia constituency list, Views Bangladesh (375,437 voters), and the BSS report. File is named cnst_160.json per task instructions; constituency_number is set to 136 (truth). DIVISION CORRECTION: The task brief stated Mymensingh division, but Tangail district is administratively in Dhaka Division as of 2026; the December 2024 Public Administration Reform Commission recommendation to transfer Tangail to Mymensingh Division has not been gazetted or enacted. VOTE COUNT: BSS and Prothom Alo both report winner votes as 141,253; BD Pratidin reported 141,318 (likely a rounding difference at partial count). Runner-up votes: 71,040 per BSS direct article. Total valid votes not confirmed in any available source; vote shares not computed. TERM COUNT: Wikipedia records one prior win (1996, 6th JS) and two losses (2001, 2008); term_count set to 2. A Channel I report claimed 'third time' but this is unverified and inconsistent with Wikipedia. WEALTH/CRIMINAL CASES: EC affidavit data not retrievable from public sources; set to null/empty per EC-only rule. COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIPS: Parliament website was inaccessible; not confirmed. Verification status is partial pending EC gazette, affidavit data, and parliament.gov.bd profile access. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
