Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency encompasses Bandar Upazila and the Narayanganj Thana portion of Narayanganj Sadar Upazila. Narayanganj Thana consists of Narayanganj Municipality, and Alirtek and Gognagar Union Parishads.[2][3]

History

[edit]

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
