Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Constituency number 175 confirmed by Wikipedia (Dhaka-2 article) and List of 13th Jatiya Sangsad members -- no discrepancy. Boundary redrawn in 2024-2025 EC delimitation process (final gazette 4 September 2025), Dhaka-2 is among 46 redrawn seats. Coverage: Dhaka South City Corporation wards 55-57, Sultanganj union (Kamrangirchar/Hazaribagh), 7 Keraniganj unions (Basta, Hazratpur, Kalatia, Kalindi, Ruhitpur, Sakta, Taranagar), 3 Savar unions (Amin Bazar, Bhakurta, Tetuljhora). Winner vote count 163,793 per Wikipedia/TBS/BSS (three sources); Prothom Alo gives 163,020 (provisional count, 773-vote difference). Runner-up votes: 80,053 per TBS/BSS; Wikipedia gives 78,655. Used majority-source figures throughout. Total valid votes not independently confirmed; left null rather than impute. Vote share 64.20% and runner-up 31.38% derived from Wikipedia's stated winner share and runner-up votes against implied total (255,129); margin computed as 32.82 pp. wealth_disclosed_bdt null: EC affidavit not publicly accessible at time of verification; do not impute. criminal_cases from EC rule only: listed two cases that had judicial resolutions (both acquittals as of Dec 2025 and Apr 2025). Aman was previously convicted and sentenced (ACC case 13 years, extortion case 7 years under 2008 Hasina government) but all these convictions have now been overturned. He also had 57 public safety cases during 2008-2018 -- these are not in criminal_cases as their current EC affidavit status is unconfirmed. Amanullah Aman held State Minister positions 2001-2006 under BNP government (Health and Family Welfare; Labour and Employment) but no current cabinet role. Prior terms all from Dhaka-3 (constituency 176 under old delimitation); now representing adjacent Dhaka-2 for the first time (5th total term). Runner-up Col. (retd.) Abdul Haque is a Jamaat candidate whose candidacy was briefly challenged by EC then restored before election.
