Dhaka-19 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.
The constituency encompasses all but the four southernmost union parishads of Savar Upazila: Amin Bazar, Bhakurta, Kaundia, and Tetuljhora. [2] [3]
The constituency was created when, 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 added 7 new seats to Dhaka District, increasing the number of constituencies in the district from 13 to 20. [5] [6] One of the new seats usurped the name Dhaka-12, and the former constituency of that name became Dhaka-19.
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had included one more union parishad of Savar Upazila: Kaundia. [2] [3] [7]
