Provenance & notes

Constituency number 165 confirmed by Wikipedia (Kishoreganj-4 article), Prothom Alo election page (election.prothomalo.com/seat/165), and EC gazette reference. Division is Dhaka (Kishoreganj district is in Dhaka division). Upazilas: Itna, Mithamain, Austagram (haor region) -- confirmed across all sources. Winner vote count (132,472) taken from BSS (state news agency, final count from all 150 polling centres, Feb 13 2026); Prothom Alo reported earlier partial count of 129,954 -- BSS is authoritative. Runner-up Md Rokan Reza Sheikh (Jamaat-e-Islami) received 57,829 votes per BSS. Total valid votes and vote share not derivable: other candidates' counts not publicly reported, so vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, and margin_percent set to null rather than fabricated. Fazlur Rahman born 1950 per Wikipedia (age 76 in 2026). He served one prior term from Kishoreganj-3 (1986-1988, Jatiya Party), making this his second term overall (term_count = 2). His August 2025 3-month BNP suspension would have expired by November 2025, prior to the Feb 2026 election; he contested as BNP nominee and won. EC affidavit (wealth, criminal_cases) not publicly accessible at time of verification -- set to null/empty per EC-only rule. The December 2024 ICT contempt charge was discharged after his apology -- no ongoing criminal case to record from affidavit. Party role 'Adviser to BNP Chairperson' confirmed from multiple sources (TBS, Daily Star, Wikipedia) though BNP website advisory council page not directly checked. boundary_redrawn_2024: no evidence of EC delimitation change found for this constituency.
