Provenance & notes
Constituency number 234 confirmed independently by two Wikipedia sources: the Sylhet-6 article and the List of constituencies of the Jatiya Sangsad -- matches the requested number 234, no correction needed. Upazilas confirmed as Beanibazar and Golapganj by Wikipedia (Sylhet-6) and BSS. Winner vote count 109,917 and margin 8,348 confirmed by BSS (primary state news agency) and Dhaka Tribune; an earlier live count (108,612 / margin 10,864) from one source reflects a partial-count report and is superseded by the final official figure. Runner-up Muhammad Selim Uddin (Jamaat-e-Islami) received 101,569 votes (109,917 - 8,348 = 101,569, internally consistent).
