Winner vote count (93,167) confirmed by Wikipedia (Chittagong-16 article) and BSS (360834). Runner-up Mishkatul Islam Chowdhury is from a political dynasty -- his father Jafrul Islam Chowdhury was a BNP three-time MP from Banshkhali and state minister. Vote shares computed from total of four named candidates (93167+83105+55492+4054=235,818): winner 39.51%, runner-up 35.24%, margin 4.27pp -- all cross-check with Wikipedia's stated percentages exactly. Wikipedia cites registered electors 411,274 and turnout 57.51% (411274*0.5751=236,524 approx, consistent with 235,818 valid votes). BNP lost despite holding this seat in 1996, 2001, and 2008; key factors were vote-split from Independent Liaquat Ali (55,492) and organizational failures (Prothom Alo). Zahirul Islam is described as 'Principal' and former Banshkhali Upazila Council Chairman; born March 12, 1976 per Wikipedia; his son Hammadur Rahman studies at Al-Azhar University, Cairo. wealth_disclosed_bdt and criminal_cases are null: EC affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification -- do not impute.
