Provenance & notes
Constituency number 168 confirmed by Wikipedia and viewsbangladesh.com; matches the task brief. Upazilas (Daulatpur, Shibalaya, Ghior) confirmed by Wikipedia, viewsbangladesh.com, and TBS. Total registered voters: 461,942 (231,857 men, 230,081 women, 4 transgender) per viewsbangladesh.com pre-election report. Total valid votes: 298,463 (64.61% turnout) per Wikipedia. Full results: SA Jinnah Kabir (BNP) 137,773 (46.16%), Md. Tozammel Haque Toja (Ind.) 77,818 (26.07%), Abu Bakar Siddique (Jamaat) 71,310 (23.89%), Md. Abdul Ali Bepari (Ind.) 6,966 (2.33%), Md. Khorshed Alam (IAB) 3,247 (1.09%); remaining ~1,349 votes spread across the 6th and 7th candidates (7 total per TBS, 5 named in Wikipedia). Margin of 20.09 pp is independently verified: (137,773 - 77,818) / 298,463 = 20.09 pp. Four of seven candidates forfeited deposits (below 12.5% threshold). SA Jinnah Kabir's full expansion of 'SA' is not available in any source examined; he is consistently referred to by initials only. He was the BNP district general secretary and Central Executive Committee member; his candidacy in 2018 was rejected by the High Court on a legal challenge and he was jailed briefly on a sabotage case during that election (Daily Star, 2018) -- no ongoing criminal case confirmed from EC affidavit; EC affidavit PDF not accessible at time of verification, so wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null. Prior terms: none confirmed -- this is his first elected term. 33 politically-motivated cases filed under the Awami League regime reportedly dropped or withdrawn post-August 2024 per his own public statements; these are not EC-disclosed ongoing cases.
