Dhaka-20 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by Benzir Ahmed of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses Dhamrai Upazila. [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] At the previous general election, in 2001, Dhamrai Upazila corresponded to constituency Dhaka-13. [5] The 2008 redistricting added 7 new seats to Dhaka District, increasing the number of constituencies in the district from 13 to 20. [6] [7] One of the new seats usurped the name Dhaka-13, and the former constituency of that name became Dhaka-20.
