BNP · Kishoreganj-3
Dr. Muhammad Osman Faruk serves as the Member of Parliament for Kishoreganj-3 and a member of the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) Senate, while facing ongoing scrutiny regarding historical allegations of war crimes.
Constituency number 164 confirmed by Wikipedia (Kishoreganj-3 article) -- matches the number given in the task. Upazilas Karimganj and Tarail confirmed by Wikipedia and multiple sources. Winner vote count (112,466) confirmed by Observer BD and Daily Country Today; runner-up Jihad Khan (Jamaat-e-Islami Col. Retd.) with 102,476 votes confirmed by both sources. Total valid votes and vote-share percentages are not available from verified primary sources and are left null rather than imputed. Margin in raw votes: 9,990. Wealth (66.775 crore BDT = BDT 667,750,000) is from EC nomination affidavit as reported by BDDigest; affidavit also shows zero income tax paid. criminal_cases is empty because no formal criminal charge sheet from a court was confirmed from EC affidavit sources; however, the Crimes Against Humanity Investigation Agency had an ongoing probe (at final stage pre-election per Bangladesh Post) against Faruk over 1971 war crimes allegations in Mymensingh Agricultural University area -- he denied all allegations (Daily Star). Wikipedia Osman Faruk article incorrectly lists his 8th Sangsad constituency as Kishoreganj-3; the Wikipedia 8th Sangsad members list and tritiyomatra.com both confirm it was Kishoreganj-4 (constituency 168); his 2026 win from Kishoreganj-3 is his second MP term overall. He served as Education Minister 10 October 2001 to 29 October 2006 under PM Khaleda Zia (Wikipedia, BDDigest). No cabinet role in 13th parliament confirmed. Committee assignments for 13th parliament not yet publicly available as of 2026-05-17. Born July 18, 1940; confirmed by Observer BD and tritiyomatra. [2026-06-08 audit correction] Prior term constituency Kishoreganj-4 vs Kishoreganj-3 inconsistent across Wikipedia pages; left unchanged pending an authoritative source.
