Provenance & notes
Constituency number 163 confirmed independently by Wikipedia (Kishoreganj-2 article), BSS election wire, and List of Members of the 13th Jatiya Sangsad Wikipedia article; matches user brief. MP name: Wikipedia uses 'Jalal Uddin Jalal'; BSS election wire uses 'Advocate Md Jalal Uddin'; Bangla sources use 'মো. জালাল উদ্দিন'. Bangla script জালাল উদ্দীন জালাল confirmed from Wikipedia infobox. Vote counts (winner 143,669; runner-up 120,975) confirmed by both BSS (English) and BSS Bangla wires. Total valid votes 272,616, invalid votes 7,395, total registered voters 532,516, and turnout 52.58% sourced from The Bangladesh Today (Bangla-language wire, 13 Feb 2026) which cited the returning officer's official announcement; vote shares and margin percent computed from these confirmed figures: winner 143,669/272,616 = 52.70%, runner-up 120,975/272,616 = 44.38%, margin 22,694/272,616 = 8.32 pp -- all independently verified via Python. 8 candidates contested in total; the remaining 7,972 valid votes were distributed among 6 others not individually named in available sources. Division is Dhaka: Kishoreganj district remained in Dhaka Division when Mymensingh Division was constituted in 2015 (four districts only: Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Netrokona, Sherpur); confirmed by Wikipedia Kishoreganj District article and consistent with cnst_162.json. Boundary redrawn 2024: no evidence found in EC delimitation coverage; EC redrawn 39-46 seats for 13th JS elections with named changes only in Gazipur/Bagerhat; set false. MP is from Pakundia Upazila (birthplace confirmed Wikipedia); first parliamentary term (Prothom Alo and BSS describe as first-time candidate). Prior BNP holder of this seat: retired Major Akhtaruzzaman won in 1991 and 1996 when constituency comprised only Katiadi; Pakundia was added later. wealth_disclosed_bdt, income_annual_disclosed_bdt, criminal_cases: EC affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification; all null/empty per EC-only rule. Note: a separate BNP MP named Jalal Uddin (Chandpur-2) had a travel ban imposed by Dhaka court Dec 2025 for money laundering allegations -- this is a different individual; no criminal cases apply to Kishoreganj-2 MP. Committee memberships: 13th Jatiya Sangsad committee assignments under formation post first-session prorogation (Apr 30 2026); none confirmed for this MP. activity_score set to 3: documented constituency-visit on Apr 13 (canal/road inauguration), admin coordination meeting Feb 25, and presence at parliament inaugural sitting Mar 12 -- more active than median first-term BNP MP but no national-level individual statements.
