Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Constituency number 238 confirmed by Wikipedia (Moulvibazar-4 article), BSS, List of 13th Jatiya Sangsad members (entry 238, flanked by 237=Moulvibazar-3 and 239=Habiganj-1), and Prothom Alo election tracker (election.prothomalo.com/seat/238). Number is correct as stated in the task. Winner vote count (170,877) and runner-up count (50,204) are consistent across Wikipedia and BSS; math: 170877/226549=75.43%, 50204/226549=22.16%, margin=53.27 pp. Total valid votes (226,549) from Wikipedia; the 5,468-vote gap beyond winner+runner-up accounts for remaining candidates (multiple candidates contested). A minority of search summaries cited 169,608/49,189 -- these appear to be pre-certification figures; Wikipedia and BSS post-certification figures of 170,877/50,204 are used. Runner-up party is Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis (BKM), not Khelafat Majlis -- these are distinct organizations; BSS article names the party explicitly. MP also known as 'Hajji Mujib' or 'Alhaj Mujibur Rahman Chowdhury'. He is a first-term MP; prior to 2026 he contested this seat as an independent in 2001 (70,364 votes, second place) and as BNP candidate in 2008 (79,599 votes, second place) and 2018 (second place), never winning until 2026. Wikipedia stub article records him as first elected in 2026 with no prior terms as MP -- term_count=1 is correct. The seat was held by AL's Md. Abdus Shahid from 1991 through 2014 (four consecutive terms including one unopposed). Boundary was redrawn in 2018 when four union parishads from Kamalganj (Adampur, Alinagar, Islampur, Shamshernagar) were added; the 2024 flag is set false because the 2018 delimitation predates the 2024 boundary-redrawn field scope. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases: EC affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification -- EC-only rule applied, no values imputed. committee_memberships: parliament.gov.bd profile page timed out; no committee assignment independently confirmed, left empty. The Janomot pre-election article states he 'was arrested around 20 times since 2006, serving over 2 years in total' -- this is a pre-election media claim, not an EC affidavit entry; under the EC-only rule for criminal_cases this cannot be listed. activity_score=2 reflects two documented post-election events (poster clean-up, swearing-in) with no subsequent confirmed parliamentary activity in the 90-day window.
