Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Constituency number 171 confirmed by Wikipedia (Munshiganj-1 article), BSS News, viewsbangladesh.com, and parliament.gov.bd legacy URL (constituency-171). Upazilas confirmed as Sreenagar and Sirajdikhan by Wikipedia and all pre-election coverage. No boundary redraw in 2024; constituency was created in its current three-seat Munshiganj configuration after the 2008 redistricting that reduced Munshiganj from four to three seats. Winner votes (165,714) consistently cited by BSS search aggregation and multiple downstream references; an early BSS article body figure of 167,562 appears to be an unofficial running count from election night before final tabulation -- 165,714 is used as the cross-source consistent figure. Runner-up AKM Fakhruddin Razi (Jamaat) received 98,192 votes per BSS and viewsbangladesh sources; Abdur Rahman (Communist Party of Bangladesh) was a separate third candidate. Total valid votes not available from any accessed source; vote shares and margin therefore set to null rather than computed. Registered voters: 545,519 (280,716 men, 264,802 women, 1 transgender) per viewsbangladesh.com pre-election report. EC affidavit (wealth_disclosed_bdt, criminal_cases) not accessible via ecs.gov.bd at time of verification -- both set to null per EC-only rule. Sheikh Md. Abdullah is a first-term MP with no prior Sangsad service identified across all sources examined. His Wikipedia stub confirms BNP affiliation and Munshiganj-1 incumbent status. Pre-nomination controversy documented by Prothom Alo (Nov 2025): protesters demanded nomination change citing Abdullah's brother's alleged Awami League ties and ongoing criminal case against the brother; no criminal cases against Abdullah himself were identified in any source. Parliamentary committee assignments not yet published for the 13th Sangsad at time of verification.
