Fact-check: Viral claims of Jamaat leaders losing 53 seats by narrow margins in the election are wrong.

New data analysis by Dismislab shows:

📊 Only 22 seats had margins <5,000 votes, not 53.
⚖️ Jamaat & allies actually won 11 of these close races (BNP allies won 9).
❌ Claim of a 70-vote defeat in Pirojpur-2? The real margin was 8,288 votes.

The numbers tell a different story. Read the full analysis here:
