Provenance & notes
Constituency number 222 confirmed correct across Wikipedia, BSS, and parliament.gov.bd. Upazila note: the task brief stated 'Naria + Sakhipur upazilas' but Sakhipur is not a standalone upazila -- it is Sakhipur Thana within Bhedarganj Upazila. Wikipedia and pre-election Prothom Alo confirm the constituency covers Naria Upazila + Sakhipur Thana of Bhedarganj Upazila. The EC's 2025 delimitation draft proposed expanding to full Bhedarganj Upazila (Independent BD, March 2018 draft); however, the final gazette details for Shariatpur-2 could not be confirmed from public sources, so boundary_redrawn_2024 is set true (Shariatpur was among the 46 re-demarcated constituencies confirmed by BSS and Voice7News). Winner vote count (129,814) and runner-up vote count (70,892) confirmed by BSS and BD Pratidin; margin = 58,922 votes. Total valid votes not published in available sources; vote_share_percent and margin_percent left null per data integrity rule. Mahmud Hossain Bakaul (runner-up) contested under the Jamaat-e-Islami scales symbol (BD Pratidin: 'scale symbol'; BSS and Prothom Alo confirm Jamaat affiliation as general secretary of the National Doctors' Forum, a Jamaat-affiliated body). MP age 28 cited by Daily Star '12 young MPs' coverage. No prior MP term confirmed: Wikipedia's Shariatpur-2 MP table lists no Kiron win before 2026; Prothom Alo's pre-election article called him 'former district BNP president' (party role, not former MP). The 2008 BNP candidate 'Md. Shofiqur Rahaman' may be the same person (transliteration variant), but prior MP status cannot be confirmed -- term_count set to 1. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases null: EC affidavit not publicly accessible at time of verification; do not impute. Jamaat election office in Naria had Tk 720,000 seized by joint forces on election day (Prothom Alo); polling officer jailed by mobile court. Parliament sworn in Feb 17, 2026; PM Tarique Rahman. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
