Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Winner vote count (128,799) and runner-up count (84,538) consistent across BSS primary report and Nurul Amin Wikipedia article (two independent sources). Total valid votes (224,120) from Bangla-language regional coverage of 107 counting centres; turnout ~57.97% against 386,674 registered voters (Bangla Wikipedia, Jan 2026). Vote share 57.47% (128,799/224,120), runner-up share 37.72% (84,538/224,120), margin 19.75 pp -- all independently recomputed. The English Wikipedia Chittagong-1 article cited 127,645/219,418 in an earlier version; those figures conflict with BSS and the dedicated MP article and are NOT used. Constituency covers Mirsharai Upazila only; no boundary change in 2024 per Wikipedia. Runner-up Advocate Mohammad Saifur Rahman (Jamaat) won 8 of 107 centres; Nurul Amin won 99. Six other candidates contested; remaining ~10,783 valid votes distributed among them. Criminal cases figure (31, 5 arrests) sourced from Wikipedia citing EC nomination affidavit; nature of charges not independently confirmed from court records at time of verification. wealth_disclosed_bdt is null: EC affidavit not publicly accessible in machine-readable form. Education: Al Jamia Al Islamia Patiya (Islamic seminary, Patiya, South Chittagong). Nurul Amin has no prior parliamentary terms -- his 2018 run was unsuccessful (3,991 votes against incumbent Awami League MP Mosharraf Hossain). He held local government positions: UP member (1998), UP Chairman Osmanpur (2003-2011), Upazila Chairman Mirsharai (2014, removed). Party role as of 2018 was Joint Convener, Northern Chittagong District BNP; current standing-committee or central-committee role not confirmed. No cabinet appointment. Parliament was only 7 days old when the road accident occurred (Feb 24); committee assignments for 13th JS were not publicly listed at time of verification.
