Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Constituency number 166 confirmed across Wikipedia Kishoreganj-5 article, BSS News, and Jugantor candidate page -- no discrepancy. Winner vote count 79,604 confirmed by BSS News and Prothom Alo English independently. Runner-up Syed Ehsanul Huda (BNP) received 66,450 votes (BSS/Prothom Alo); Huda was chairman of Bangladesh Jatiya Dal and dissolved his party to contest on BNP ticket. Margin in raw votes: 13,154. vote_share_percent and total_valid_votes are null: Jugantor lists 353,566 as a 'total votes' figure but it is ambiguous whether this is the 2026 electorate (registered voters) or votes cast; without a confirmed denominator from EC or Wikipedia the 2026 Kishoreganj-5 article, computing a share would risk a fabricated figure -- left null per EC-source-only rule. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Iqbal was formerly president of Bajitpur Upazila BNP and a member of BNP's National Executive Committee; he was expelled from BNP after he refused to step aside for the party-nominated candidate (Syed Ehsanul Huda) and contested as an independent rebel. He had previously been a BNP candidate in 2018. This is his first parliamentary term (no prior seat held confirmed from public sources). term_count set to 1. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null: EC nomination affidavit not publicly accessible at time of verification -- do not impute. committee_memberships not yet published by parliament.gov.bd for 13th Sangsad members as of 2026-05-17. activity_score 3: one confirmed parliamentary motion, otherwise low public profile since swearing-in.
