Constituency 177 = Dhaka-4 confirmed across Wikipedia, EC constituency list, and Dhaka Tribune. Winner confirmed by TBS (margin 2,920 votes: 77,367 to 74,447), Prothom Alo, Wikipedia, and BSS. Raw vote counts for winner and runner-up are cross-confirmed from two independent sources; total valid votes for Dhaka-4 were not published in accessible form, so vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, total_valid_votes, and margin_percent are null rather than estimated. Abedin was born 1 March 1971 in Bakerganj, Barishal (age 55 at time of election); this is his first parliamentary term. Constituency covers Shyampur and Kadamtali thanas in Dhaka South City Corporation (wards 47, 51-54, 58-61); boundary was last redrawn ahead of 2008 elections, not 2024. Prothom Alo affidavit analysis (pre-election) reported annual income ~Tk 2.5 million and bank deposits Tk 5.83 million, but the EC affidavit PDF was not directly accessible; per EC-only rule, wealth_disclosed_bdt and income_annual_disclosed_bdt are left null. No criminal cases found in any source. Abedin worked at Social Islami Bank from its early years until retiring as vice president in January 2026; his April 12 SIBL letter is his most prominent post-election public action. The 'special committee chairman Zainul Abedin' in BSS/Dhaka Tribune reports on ordinance review is the MP from Barishal-3, a different person. Runner-up Tanveer Ahmed Robin is member secretary of BNP Dhaka City South unit.
