Provenance & notes
Constituency number 200 confirmed by Wikipedia (Narsingdi-2) and BSS; no discrepancy. Geographic coverage: Palash Upazila (full) plus three unions of Narsingdi Sadar -- Amdia, Meher Para, and Panchdona. Silmandi union was removed before the 2014 election by EC delimitation; that boundary change predates 2024, so boundary_redrawn_2024=false. Vote totals cross-checked: Wikipedia gives winner 92,739 (54.42%), runner-up 55,920 (32.81%), total valid votes 170,427, margin 36,819 votes (21.60% computed; Wikipedia rounds to 21.61%); BSS Bangla confirms winner 92,739. Runner-up Amzad Hossain ran under Jamaat-e-Islami (danda/scales symbol); TBS and Khobor Sangjog note Jamaat had a pre-election seat-sharing arrangement under which they were supposed to back NCP's Sarwar Tushar but some Jamaat members backed Hossain anyway, splitting the anti-BNP vote. Sarwar Tushar (NCP, shapla kali symbol) finished third with 19,236 votes (confirmed by multiple Bangla outlets). Abdul Moyeen Khan (born 1 January 1947, age 79) is a four-term MP from Narsingdi-2: 5th (1991), 6th (1996), 7th (2001), 13th (2026); lost the 8th parliament (2008) race. Pre-politics: Professor of Physics, University of Dhaka. PhD, University of Sussex 1973. BNP Standing Committee member since December 2009. Served as Minister of State for Planning (1993-1996), Minister of Information (2001-2002), Minister of Science and ICT (2002-2006). wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null: EC nomination affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification; EC-only rule prohibits imputation. A 2018 bail case ('provoking people against the state') appears dormant and was not listed as an ongoing case in any 2026 pre-election reporting; excluded from criminal_cases per EC-only rule. No committee_memberships confirmed from parliament.gov.bd; speaker candidacy was speculative and not realised. Term count set to 4 (not 5) -- Wikipedia's phrase 'five-time MP' in search snippets appears erroneous; the article itself lists 5th, 6th, 7th, and 13th parliaments = 4 confirmed terms.
