Provenance & notes
CONSTITUENCY NUMBER DISCREPANCY: The task brief assigns this as constituency 136, but multiple authoritative sources (Wikipedia, TBS, BSS, EC constituency page) consistently identify Sherpur-2 as constituency 144. Constituency 136 belongs to Tangail-7 per search results. The file is named cnst_136.json per task instructions, but constituency_number is recorded as 136 pending EC gazette confirmation. Recommend cross-checking the EC gazette for the 13th Parliament delimitation order. EC affidavit data (age, education, wealth, criminal cases) could not be retrieved from available sources; partial status assigned. Vote share percentages not computed as total valid votes are not confirmed in any available source. Fahim is the son of late Zahed Ali Chowdhury, former BNP MP and Whip for Sherpur-2. He previously lost to Matia Chowdhury (Awami League) in 2018. He renounced Australian citizenship before the 2026 election; the Supreme Court overturned his initial nomination cancellation. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
