Parliament Watch
BNP · Brahmanbaria-3
The MP is focused on navigating government economic policy, specifically reviewing trade deals with the United States to balance national sovereignty with foreign investment needs.
MP Khaled Hossain Mahbub Shyamal joined a parliamentary delegation to Kunming, China, for the 7th China-South Asia Cooperation Forum.
Constituency number 245 confirmed as Brahmanbaria-3 by Wikipedia list of Jatiya Sangsad constituencies, parliament.gov.bd legacy page, and all major election-result sources (BSS, Prothom Alo, BD Pratidin). Division is Chittagong; Brahmanbaria district sits in Chittagong division. The 2024 EC delimitation (gazette finalized September 4, 2024) transferred Chandura and Budhanti unions of Bijoynagar upazila from Brahmanbaria-3 to Brahmanbaria-2 (Sarail-Ashuganj); boundary_redrawn_2024 is therefore true. The upazilas field records full Brahmanbaria Sadar plus the six Bijoynagar unions retained in this seat (Ichapura, Champaknagar, Pattan, Dakhin Singerbil, Paharpur, Harashpur) as confirmed by the earlier web search citing EC gazette details. Winner vote count 209,636 and runner-up (Mohammad Ataullah, NCP) vote count 62,547 cross-confirmed by BSS News, Prothom Alo Bangla, and BD Pratidin; raw margin is 147,089 which matches Prothom Alo's '1 lakh 47 hazar 89 vote' figure exactly. Registered voters 624,601 and turnout 47.37% from Prothom Alo (Bangla). Total valid votes and vote-share percentages not available from any accessible primary source; set to null rather than imputed. MP's full honorific name is 'Engineer Khaled Hossain Mahbub Shyamal' (also spelled 'Mahboob Shemal' in English transliterations); Bangla name confirmed by Prothom Alo. BUET engineering education and BUET Graduate Club presidency confirmed by Prothom Alo profile. He is BNP Central Committee Economic Affairs Secretary and Brahmanbaria District BNP President (151-member committee announced May 10, 2025, per Daily Asian Age and BNPBD.org). Prothom Alo states he previously contested this seat in 2011 (by-election) and 2018 general election without winning; term_count is therefore 1 (first parliamentary win). Age not found in any accessible source; set to null. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null/empty: Bangladesh EC nomination affidavit portal (ecs.gov.bd) returned HTTP 403 at time of verification; EC-only rule applied strictly -- no estimate or proxy source used. committee_memberships is empty: parliament.gov.bd member portal not accessible at time of verification. Runner-up Mohammad Ataullah contested under the NCP (National Citizenship Party) banner as part of the 11-party alliance.
