Provenance & notes
Constituency number 250 confirmed by Wikipedia (Comilla-2 article) and viewsbangladesh.com; EC official spelling is 'Cumilla-2' matching the district renaming from Comilla to Cumilla. Upazilas: Homna and Titas confirmed across all sources. boundary_redrawn_2024 = false; last major boundary change was for the 2008 election. Vote counts: 76,268 (winner) and 61,385 (runner-up) confirmed consistently by TBS and aggregated sources as final official figures; BSS election-night unofficial report gave 77,037 vs 63,045 -- do not use BSS figure as final. Runner-up Md. Abdul Matin Khan was a former aide to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia who contested as independent after failing to secure the BNP ticket; Prothom Alo pre-election report confirms his identity and background. Vote shares (55.41% / 44.59%) and margin (10.81 pp) computed from the two confirmed vote counts; total_valid_votes set null because 6 candidates contested and the full tally is not confirmed from primary source -- the two-candidate sum of 137,653 understates total valid votes. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases: EC affidavit not publicly accessible. No ongoing criminal case: ACC corruption case (filed 2019, charge-framed 2023) was acquitted by Special Judge Court-1 Dhaka on August 21, 2025 (sources: BSS, TBS); acquittal confirmed before the 2026 election. education and age not confirmed from any primary source; the honorific 'Principal' (used by BSS, TBS, Prothom Alo consistently) indicates a career as school or college principal but institution is unconfirmed. Registered electorate: 375,067 (196,119 male, 178,947 female, 1 third-gender) per viewsbangladesh.com pre-election data.
