Winner vote count (172,506) and runner-up count (57,473, Md. Billal Hossain, LDP) confirmed by BSS official wire (Feb 13 2026) from EC results centre in Agargaon. Bangla-language sources (deshrupantor, chandpurnews) reported an earlier partial count of 170,583 for the winner; BSS is the state news agency reporting from the EC results centre and is treated as the authoritative final figure. Total valid votes not confirmed from a primary source: partial upazila-level figures (Matlab North 141,660 + Matlab South 104,060 = 245,720) from Bangla sources predate the BSS final count and cannot be reconciled with it without an EC gazette; vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, total_valid_votes, and margin_percent therefore left null pending EC gazette confirmation. Voter roll: 501,069 (256,500 male, 244,559 female, 2 other; 155 polling stations, 918 booths). Age 67 from Wikipedia (born 4 January 1959). Wealth Tk 249 crore (BDT 2,490,000,000) is the combined figure for Jalal Uddin and wife Shahnaz Sharmin from his EC nomination affidavit as reported by Prothom Alo (top-10 wealthiest candidates list). Criminal case: ACC travel ban imposed 23 December 2025 (New Age BD, Financial Express) under Money Laundering Prevention Act; this is an investigation-stage travel restriction, not a conviction or charge sheet. The ACC case predates the election and the ban remained in force during the campaign. 6 of 8 candidates lost their electoral deposits. Boundary_redrawn_2024 false: constituency has comprised Matlab Uttar and Matlab Dakshin since 2014 delimitation; no EC 2024 changes found. This is Jalal Uddin's first parliamentary term from this constituency; Wikipedia and BSS confirm no prior Jatiya Sangsad membership. Education title 'Dr.' used in all post-election Chandpur Times coverage; specific degree/institution not confirmed from a primary source and is therefore not recorded.
