Provenance & notes
Constituency number 162 confirmed by Wikipedia (Kishoreganj-1 article) and cross-referenced against the List of Members of the 13th Jatiya Sangsad Wikipedia article; number is correct and matches the user brief. Winner vote count 124,035 and runner-up count 101,132 sourced from BSS election wire (13 Feb 2026). Raw margin = 22,903 votes. BSS reports only two candidates; since the presence of minor candidates cannot be ruled out, total_valid_votes, vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, and margin_percent are left null per data integrity rules rather than computed from an unconfirmed denominator. If only these two candidates ran, implied shares would be 55.09% (BNP) and 44.91% (BKM), margin 10.18 pp -- but this is not entered as a field value. Mazharul Islam confirmed as General Secretary of Kishoreganj District BNP (re-elected Sep 2025, BSS district wire). This is his first term in parliament; no prior parliamentary terms found in any public source. Division is Dhaka: Kishoreganj district has been part of Dhaka Division since the 1984 district reorganisation (it moved from Mymensingh division in administrative reorganisations; Wikipedia Kishoreganj-1 article explicitly states Dhaka Division). Boundary redrawn 2024: no evidence found from EC delimitation notices or press coverage; set false. wealth_disclosed_bdt, income_annual_disclosed_bdt, and criminal_cases: EC affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification; all left null/empty per EC-only rule -- do not impute. Bangla name not confirmed from any primary source; set null. Age, education, and occupation not confirmed from any primary source; set null. Committee memberships: 13th Jatiya Sangsad committee assignments were under formation as of verification date (May 17 2026, just after first session prorogation on Apr 30); none confirmed for this MP -- set empty. activity_score is 1: only one verifiable individual action (phone consultation with minister, March 8 2026) beyond routine presence in parliamentary sessions attributable to this MP specifically.
