The source behind the numbers.

This page reproduces the province-level table in Constituency226 2026 Elected MPs.xlsm – 00 Overview.pdf. The document describes its figures as compiled from supplied ECZ results; that attribution has not been independently verified here.

The PDF contains aggregate counts, not individual MP names or constituency-level records. “NRPUP” and “Other” are retained exactly as source categories. Percentages are calculated from the listed seats and rounded to one decimal place.
