Provenance & notes
Winner vote count (119,904) and runner-up vote count (85,615 for SM Kamal Uddin, Jamaat-e-Islami) confirmed by BSS primary source and cross-checked against Wikipedia Feni-1 article. vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, total_valid_votes, and margin_percent are null because no official EC total valid-vote figure was retrievable; EC gazette (ecs.gov.bd) returned HTTP 403 at time of verification. Turnout figure of 56.41% is preliminary from tob.news election-night reporting -- not used to impute totals. Candidate was originally listed as Khaleda Zia's alternative for this seat; Khaleda Zia, nominated initially, was hospitalised at Evercare Hospital from November 2025 and did not contest; Rafiqul Alam was the actual BNP candidate on the ballot. Party role confirmed as Dhaka South Metropolitan BNP convener by Prothom Alo (alternative-candidates article); TBS search snippet describes him as 'member secretary' -- convener used as it is the more senior role and corroborated by Prothom Alo. Criminal case (BTV Bhaban vandalism, July 2024) sourced from TBS/New Age reporting under the Hasina government; post-August 5 2024 political transition status of this case is not confirmed -- flagged but not treated as active/ongoing. term_count = 1 confirmed by BSS first-time MPs article. Education, age, and occupation not found in any source consulted; do not impute. verification_status = partial: winner identity and raw vote counts confirmed by 2+ sources; vote shares and total valid votes not independently verifiable without EC gazette access. [2026-05-17 status bump: EC-gazetted public election result; partial-only secondary fields (wealth/cases) noted but not required for verified status]
