Md. Monirul Haque Chowdhury

Constituency number 254 confirmed by Prothom Alo election portal (election.prothomalo.com/seat/254) and Jugantor election pages. EC official romanization is 'Cumilla-6' matching the district renaming. Constituency composition (Comilla Adarsha Sadar, Sadar South, City Corporation, Cantonment) confirmed by BSS pre-election interview and Wikipedia; prior to 2018 the Galiara union of Sadar South was part of the seat. boundary_redrawn_2024 = false; last EC boundary adjustment was 2018. Registered electorate: 631,886 (318,325 male; 313,554 female; 7 third-gender) per BSS interview data. Vote counts: 201,706 (winner) and 119,851 (runner-up, Kazi Din Mohammad of Jamaat-e-Islami) confirmed by BSS official result dispatch; absolute margin 81,855 votes. vote_share_percent and margin_percent set null because total valid votes not confirmed from a primary source -- the full candidate list and tally are not available in retrieved sources. MP birth year conflict: BSS interview gives July 16 1947 (more precise); Wikipedia gives 1946 -- BSS used as primary for age calculation (age 78 as of 2026-05-17); the discrepancy is noted. Prior terms: 1988-1995 from Comilla-9 as Jatiya Party (Wikipedia), 2001-2006 from Comilla-9 as BNP (Wikipedia); term_count = 3 (two prior + current). Nomination challenge: Independent candidate Haji Aminur Rashid Yasin challenged the nomination alleging undisclosed loan default (Purbachal Fuels Ltd chairmanship), undisclosed 'Monir Tower' property, and omitted dependents; EC dismissed all three allegations on January 14 2026 (BSS: bssnews.net/others/351239). No confirmed ongoing criminal case from primary source. Wealth and EC affidavit figures not publicly accessible. The TBS highway speech date (c. April 5 2026) is approximate based on article metadata; exact parliamentary session date not confirmed.
