Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Nasirnagar Upazila. [2]

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-6 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. [3] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency. [4]

Before the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the constituency's boundaries. Previously, the constituency had included three union parishads of Brahmanbaria Sadar Upazila (after 2010, the new Bijoynagar Upazila): Budhanti, Chandura, and Harashpur. [2] [5]
