Constituency 181 = Dhaka-8 confirmed by Wikipedia, Wikidata, and parliament.gov.bd. No EC renumbering; constituency_number 181 is correct. Boundary NOT redrawn in 2024 delimitation (Dhaka-8 excluded from the 46 revised seats per Daily Star and BDNews24 reports). Vote shares (52.31% / 47.69%) and margin (4.62 pp) computed from confirmed top-2 vote counts (59,366 + 54,127 = 113,493 combined); total_valid_votes set null as EC-published full constituency tally was not available in public sources. wealth_disclosed_bdt (561,000,000) and income_annual_disclosed_bdt (47,500,000) from EC nomination affidavit per media reports; one source noted the affidavit details may trace to a 2019 disclosure cycle rather than 2026 -- treat with caution and reverify against 2026 EC affidavit PDF when accessible. criminal_cases set to [] because Mirza Abbas was acquitted in 2024 of ACC asset-concealment charges (Dhaka Tribune, August 2024); no ongoing cases confirmed from EC affidavit or court records at time of verification. Prior terms: 3 confirmed (1991, 1996, 2001-2006, all from Dhaka-6); this is his 4th total term. Nasiruddin Patwary contested as NCP chief coordinator. Abbas has been effectively inactive since March 11, 2026 (medical emergency, brain surgery, Singapore hospital transfer).
