BNP · Chittagong-13
Pushing for gas supply and modernization of the state fertilizer plants (KAFCO, CUFL) in his Anwara-Karnaphuli constituency.
Present as local MP when the Commerce Minister visited CUFL and KAFCO fertilizer factories in Anwara to assess modernization needs and pledge uninterrupted gas supply for production
Constituency geographic coverage: the task description specifies 'Anwara + Karnafuli upazilas' but EN Wikipedia (Chittagong-13 article) documents a third component -- five union parishads of Patiya Upazila (Bara Uthan, Char Lakshya, Char Patharghata, Juldha, Sikalbaha) -- which were added via the 2014 EC redistricting and remain part of the seat. The BN Wikipedia article corroborates only Anwara and Karnaphuli as the named upazilas; the Patiya partial inclusion is not prominent in Bangla-language coverage but is consistent with 395,246 registered electors (a larger voter base than Anwara + Karnaphuli alone). boundary_redrawn_2024 is False: the last major redraw was 2014 (EN Wikipedia, Dhaka Tribune 2024 delimitation article did not list Ctg-13 among redrawn seats). Vote shares independently verified: 126,192/218,841 = 57.66%; 51,450/218,841 = 23.51%; margin = 34.15 pp; turnout = 218,841/395,246 = 55.37%. Third candidate Mahmudul Hasan (Jamaat-e-Islami) received 34,035 votes (15.55%); top three account for 211,677 of 218,841 valid votes, leaving 7,164 to remaining candidates. Wealth (wealth_disclosed_bdt) not recovered from available EC affidavit summaries: Prothom Alo millionaire-list article notes Nizam is among 15 of 17 BNP Chattogram nominees who are millionaires but does not publish his individual total; spouse Naznin Nizam holds lowest spousal cash of any Chattogram BNP candidate (Tk 18,492).

RAB arrest (June 2007) occurred during 1/11 caretaker period; Wikipedia characterises it as a false accusation; no active EC-documented criminal case found in post-2026 sources -- listed with caveat.

EC-only rule observed: all vote data derived from EC gazette-relayed BSS and Wikipedia results; no candidate self-reported figures used.
