Total valid votes (145,677) and registered voters (333,813) confirmed by two sources (BDNews24, Prothom Alo); total cast was 147,888 with 2,211 rejected ballots. Vote shares computed independently: 72699/145677 = 49.90%, 68300/145677 = 46.88%, margin = 3.02 pp. Tarique vacated Bogura-6 (which he also won) and retained Dhaka-17 as his parliamentary seat per TBS News. wealth_disclosed_bdt (12,300,000) is the EC affidavit bank deposit figure (Tk 1.23 crore), not a full net-worth figure -- the affidavit does not list other immovable assets separately in publicly available summaries; treat as partial lower bound. income_annual_disclosed_bdt (676,000 = Tk 6.76 lakh) from Daily Star and Dhaka Tribune, sourced from shares, bonds and bank deposit schemes. criminal_cases is empty: all 84 historic cases were acquitted or dropped prior to the nomination affidavit per multiple sources (NewSX, TBS, Dhaka Tribune acquittal report); the EC nomination was declared valid by the returning officer with no pending criminal case flagged. Birth year: Wikipedia and NID/EC affidavit say 1968 (age 57 in May 2026); BSS biography and Britannica say 1965 -- 1968 used as it matches the EC NID record.
