Provenance & notes

Winner vote count (166,583) and vote share (74.48%) confirmed by Wikipedia (Comilla-4 article), TBS, BSS, and BDNews24. Total valid votes (223,657) and turnout (54.48%) from Wikipedia final tally; TBS live count mid-election showed 216,914 -- the Wikipedia figure is the certified final count and is used here. Margin: 74.48 - 22.30 = 52.18 pp, verified arithmetically. Runner-up name: Wikipedia gives 'Jashim Munshi (Gono Odhikar Parishad)'; TBS gives 'Md A Jashim Uddin' -- likely same person, 'Munshi' being a surname/title variant. BNP candidate Manjurul Ahsan Munshi was barred by EC, leaving NCP's path effectively uncontested by major rivals. Born Feb 28, 1998 (Debidwar, Comilla); age 28 as of May 2026. Wikipedia infobox shows Sept 13, 1998 but article body and all independent biographies confirm Feb 28, 1998 -- using Feb 28. Wealth: EC affidavit (Dec 2025) shows Tk 50 lakh total assets per TBS and BDNews24 (Tk 1.35 lakh cash, Tk 0.30 lakh bank, Tk 26 lakh jewellery, Tk 1.0 lakh furniture, Tk 0.65 lakh electronics); Daily Star reported Tk 31.7 lakh -- likely an earlier or differently categorised affidavit figure; Tk 50 lakh used as it is consistent with the BDNews24 itemised breakdown. Income Tk 12,53,539/year (business) per BDNews24. No criminal cases per EC affidavit. Activity score 7: most active NCP backbencher in the 13th Parliament's first session, with constituency (highway), institutional (BCB/Bangladesh Bank), and energy speeches all drawing national coverage.
