Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Constituency number 230 confirmed by Wikipedia (Sylhet-2 article). Upazilas are Bishwanath and Osmaninagar only -- the task brief listed Balaganj as a third upazila, but this is incorrect: Balaganj belongs to Sylhet-3 (which covers Balaganj, Dakshin Surma, and Fenchuganj). Runner-up vote count per BSS body text: 38,653 (Khelafat Majlis, Muhammad Muntasir Ali). Arithmetic margin: 117,956 - 38,653 = 79,303; BSS headline states 79,321 -- a 18-vote discrepancy, likely a rounding or transcription error in the headline; body counts used as authoritative. Total valid votes and vote shares are null: no primary source published aggregate valid-vote counts for this seat. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null: EC nomination affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification. Party role confirmed as Member of BNP Chairperson's Advisory Council (pre-election status; as sitting MP her formal advisory council membership may have lapsed -- no update found). Husband M Ilias Ali held Sylhet-2 (constituency 230) in Feb 1996 (9th Parliament) and Oct 2001-Oct 2006 (8th Parliament); Tahsina's election is first term from this seat. She was the sole female candidate among 33 contestants across all six Sylhet district constituencies.
