Provenance & notes

Constituency number 215 confirmed by Wikipedia (Gopalganj-1 article), parliament.gov.bd constituency listing, and Dhaka Tribune seat index. Winner vote count (69,462) and runner-up (54,329) sourced from BSS's dedicated Gopalganj-1 result page (bssnews.net/national-parlament-election-2026/360611), which is the primary official source. Some secondary summaries cite slightly lower figures (68,867 / 53,961) -- these appear to be early unofficial tallies; BSS constituency page figures used. Total valid votes not published at time of verification; vote_share_percent and margin_percent are null. Runner-up identified as Md. Kabir Miah (Gono Odhikar Parishad) per BSS; Wikipedia's Gopalganj-1 article lists Md. Abdul Hamid Molla (Jamaat) as runner-up -- this is contradicted by BSS and is likely an error or reflects pre-election expectations. The BSS 'deposits' article confirms Jamaat's Hamid Molla retained his deposit (consistent with 3rd place), supporting BSS on the runner-up. Registered voters: 399,510 (202,821 male, 196,689 female); 9 candidates total; 138 polling centres; 6 candidates lost deposits. Upazilas: full Muksudpur + seven union parishads of Kashiani (not all of Kashiani upazila). No boundary change in 2024. EC affidavit (wealth_disclosed_bdt, criminal_cases) not publicly accessible; set to null/empty per EC-only rule. prior_terms entry reflects 2008 contest as a loss, not a win; term_count = 1. Gopalganj was Faruk Khan (AL)'s six-term stronghold and Sheikh Hasina's home district; with AL banned, this BNP win is historically significant.
