Parliament Watch
BNP · Habiganj-3
Md GK Gaus serves as a Whip in the 13th National Parliament, focusing on parliamentary discipline, legislative efficiency, and local constituency development.
Attended a book unveiling ceremony for Sylheter Kritijan at the Dhaka Reporters Unity.
Served as chief guest at the concluding ceremony of the Nazrul Year 2026–2027 program in Habiganj.
Constituency number 241 confirmed by Wikipedia (Habiganj-3 article), viewsbangladesh district election article (2008 pre-election data), and parliament.gov.bd 10th parliament record. Upazilas: Wikipedia on Habiganj-3 lists only Habiganj Sadar and Lakhai; however Wikipedia on Shayestaganj Upazila explicitly states that upazila belongs to Habiganj-3 constituency. Shayestaganj was carved out of Habiganj Sadar on 20 November 2017 (Bangladesh's 492nd upazila). It is administratively distinct but falls within the original Habiganj-3 constituency boundary; all three upazilas included here. boundary_redrawn_2024 = false: Shayestaganj was separated in 2017, predating the 2024 EC delimitation cycle; no evidence of a 2024 boundary change for this seat. Winner vote count: BD Pratidin (verified) gives 141,521; BSS initial unofficial report gives 142,348. BD Pratidin figure used as the primary reference (cross-checked with viewsbangladesh); BSS figure may reflect a pre-final count. Runner-up Kazi Mohsin Ahmad (Jamaat-e-Islami, 11-party alliance candidate and Habiganj district Jamaat secretary) confirmed by both BD Pratidin (44,581 votes) and BSS (45,568). BD Pratidin figure used. Total valid votes and vote-share percentages not found in any accessible primary source; set null. GK Gaus's full name is consistently given as 'Md GK Gaus' across all sources; 'GK' abbreviation is not expanded in any primary source found. He is a former Habiganj Pourashava mayor (multiple terms; won third term in December 2015 while in jail) and BNP's Central Cooperative Affairs Secretary. party_role and occupation_pre_politics confirmed by BSS (bssnews.net/news/144711) and New Age BD (newagebd.net/article/11912). cabinet_role = Whip confirmed by viewsbangladesh, Dhaka Tribune, and BSS as of March 2, 2026. criminal_cases = [] per EC-only rule: two cases are known from news (Kibria murder case at Sylhet Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal, out on bail; Muhith plotting case 2015, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate) but these are not sourced from the EC nomination affidavit and must be excluded. wealth_disclosed_bdt = null: EC affidavit not publicly accessible at time of verification. term_count = 1 (first Jatiya Sangsad term; prior mayoral terms are not parliamentary terms).
