Provenance & notes
Winner vote count 115,199 from BSS (state news agency, primary EC-proximate source; bssnews.net/national-parlament-election-2026/360566). Runner-up Md Ashrafur Rahman Hafizullah (Jamaat-e-Islami) received 73,756 votes per BSS fetch; raw margin 41,443 votes confirmed by BSS. Two other sources (TBS: 114,026; Bangladesh Post: 113,725) give slightly lower winner totals, likely earlier partial/unofficial counts before postal ballots; BSS figure used as it is the state news agency with direct access to EC results center. Runner-up vote total of 73,756 (BSS) vs 70,765 (TBS) -- same discrepancy; BSS used. Total valid votes not confirmed from any primary source; vote_share_percent and margin_percent left null to avoid imputed figures. Registered voters 412,193 (213,291 male, 199,001 female) across 122 polling centres confirmed by TBS turnout report. Constituency turnout reported as 60.14% for all four Lakshmipur seats combined; constituency-specific figure not available. Prior terms: Wikipedia confirms elections in 2001 (8th JS) and 2008 (9th JS) from Lakshmipur-4 only; no other constituency history found. Term_count = 3 (2001, 2008, 2026). Party role confirmed as 'Joint Secretary, Industry and Commerce Affairs' by Bangladesh Post; own website says 'Assistant Secretary' -- likely translation variant of same post; Bangladesh Post (third-party) preferred. Whip appointment March 2, 2026, gazette confirmed by BSS, bd24live, and Dhaka Tribune independently. No criminal cases found in any source. No education or age data found across BSS, Wikipedia, Bangladesh Post, or personal website. boundary_redrawn_2024 = false: constituency created from Noakhali in 1984 when Lakshmipur District was carved out; Kamalnagar upazila formed from Ramgati in 2006 (administrative subdivision only, not an electoral boundary change); no 2024 EC delimitation change found. 'Komolnogor' in task brief is Bangla transliteration of 'Kamalnagar' -- same upazila confirmed.
