Winner vote count 83,982 confirmed by BSS (English and Bangla), BDNews24, and Wikipedia. Prothom Alo reports 83,992 (10-vote discrepancy, likely transcription error); BSS figure used as primary. Runner-up Sultan Muhammad Zakaria Majumder (NCP) with 67,054 votes confirmed by BSS and Prothom Alo. Margin 16,928 votes (83,982 - 67,054 = 16,928, verified by arithmetic; Prothom Alo margin of 16,938 aligns with their slightly higher winner total). vote_share_percent, runner_up_vote_share, total_valid_votes, and margin_percent are null: EC full results sheet not publicly accessible at verification; the 191,111 figure from BSS appears to combine yes/no referendum-style counts and does not represent standard valid votes in this seat. Upazilas: Senbagh in full plus four unions of Sonaimuri (Ambarnagar, Baragaon, Bazra, Nateshwar). En.wikipedia Noakhali-2 article lists only three Sonaimuri unions (omitting Bazra) -- this is a stale omission; bn.wikipedia and Noakhali-1 Wikipedia (which explicitly excludes these four unions from Noakhali-1) both confirm four. boundary_redrawn_2024 set false: the four-union composition dates to the 2008 pre-election delimitation; no 2024 redrawing documented for this seat. Prior terms: 5th-8th parliaments from Noakhali-1, 9th from Noakhali-2; total six terms confirmed by multiple Bangla sources ('double hat-trick', '6th time'). Party role: adviser to Khaleda Zia per Wikipedia; no ministerial appointment confirmed. Criminal cases: 2017 sabotage arrest resulted in bail; no conviction recorded. 2011 attempted murder suit filed in August 2024 against police officers. EC affidavit PDF not accessible; wealth and income figures are null -- do not impute. Wife Kaniz Fatema (also a BNP politician) died in 2026.
