Provenance & notes
Constituency number 197 confirmed by Wikipedia Gazipur-4 article and cross-checked against the List of members of the 13th Jatiya Sangsad; no discrepancy with the requested number. Vote math verified: 101,779 / 199,846 = 50.93%; 90,390 / 199,846 = 45.23%; margin = 5.70 pp; turnout = 199,846 / 330,977 = 60.4% -- all consistent with Wikipedia figures. Shah Riazul Hannan is the son of late minister ASM Hannan Shah. Jamaat's victory here is the first since 1971, breaking more than five decades of Awami League dominance in Tajuddin Ahmed's birthplace. Aiyubi served as Secretary General of Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir (Jan-Dec 2020) then as President (Jan-Dec 2021). wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null: EC nomination affidavit not publicly accessible at time of verification -- EC-only rule applied, no imputation. Age not confirmed in any accessible primary source; left null. Bangla name sourced from Wikipedia infobox. boundary_redrawn_2024 set false: the 2024 EC delimitation added a sixth seat to Gazipur district (Gazipur-6) but Gazipur-4 boundaries were not altered in that round -- the earlier redraw affecting this seat was pre-2008.
