Boundaries
[edit]The constituency encompasses Kazipur Upazila and five union parishads of Sirajganj Sadar Upazila: Bagbati, Bahuli, Mechhra, Ratankandi, and Chhongachha.[2]
History
[edit]The constituency was created in 1984 from a Pabna constituency when the former Pabna District was split into two districts: Sirajganj and Pabna.[3]
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]
Ahead of the 2018 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency by adding one union parishad of Sirajganj Sadar Upazila: Bahuli.[6][2][7]
