Inaugurated a program organized by the Bangladesh Bouddha Kristi Prachar Sangha.
Constituency number 182 confirmed by Wikipedia (flanked by 181 Dhaka-8 and 183 Dhaka-10) and Bangladesh EC listing -- no discrepancy with the task brief. Dhaka-9 covers DSCC wards 1-7 and 71-75 under Khilgaon, Sabujbagh, and Mugda thanas; union parishads Dakshingaon, Manda, and Nasirabad also fall within boundaries. Last major boundary change was before 2008 (constituency was created expanding Dhaka from 8 to 15 seats); no 2024 redrawing found in any source. vote_share_percent (51.09%) and runner_up_vote_share (24.56%) and margin_percent (26.53pp) are computed from winner/runner-up raw counts (BSS, Wikipedia, Dhaka Tribune cross-confirmed) divided by total_valid_votes = 217,688 (approved and counted ballots; 221,681 total cast minus 3,993 rejected -- per first BSS search result). Wikipedia election table percentages (53.1%, 25.5%, 21.3%) are shares among the top-3 candidates only, not of all valid votes, and are therefore not used. Third-place Tasnim Jara (Independent, formerly NCP) received 44,684 votes. Registered voters: 469,360 (237,673 men, 231,682 women, 5 hijra). Voter turnout: 47.23% (217,688 / 469,360). Age: Wikipedia infobox states born 1973, age 52; one search summary said 53 -- using 52 per Wikipedia infobox. criminal_cases: EC-only rule applied; EC affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification -- multiple media references to past remands (2013-2014) and a 2024 in-absentia conviction (2012 sabotage case) exist, but these are not confirmed from EC affidavit and the cases reportedly resulted in surrender and acquittals -- do not impute. wealth_disclosed_bdt: EC affidavit not accessible -- do not impute. party_role confirmed from Wikipedia: member of BNP central executive committee; former general secretary of Chhatra Dal. cabinet_role confirmed from Dhaka Tribune portfolio allocation article and BSS interviews.
