Provenance & notes
BOUNDARY CORRECTION: The task prompt described constituency 169 as 'Saturia + Manikganj Sadar (partial)'. That description matches constituency 170 (Manikganj-3), not 169. Constituency 169 (Manikganj-2) covers Singair and Harirampur upazilas plus the Bhararia, Hati Para, and Putail unions of Manikganj Sadar upazila -- confirmed by Wikipedia (Manikganj-2), viewsbangladesh.com (Manikganj district, 13th elections), and EC hearing records. constituency_number is set to 169 (the true EC number). Manikganj-2 is among the 46 constituencies whose boundaries were redrawn by the EC in the September 2024 delimitation gazette (confirmed by The Daily Star and TBS reports). Winner vote count (175,776) and runner-up vote count (81,531) cross-confirmed by Bonikbarta and TBS; raw margin = 94,245 votes. Total valid votes not published in any accessible primary source; vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, and margin_percent are null rather than imputed. Moinul Islam Khan Shanto is a second-generation BNP politician (son of former Industry Minister Shamsul Islam Khan); previously served a short by-election term from Manikganj-4 (May-October 2006, now defunct constituency) following his father's death -- confirmed by Wikipedia. Referred to as 'Engineer' in BSS reports; specific engineering degree and university not found in publicly accessible sources. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null: EC affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification -- do not impute per EC-only rule.
