Jamalpur-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Md Abdur Rashid of the Awami League.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Sarishabari Upazila. ^[2]

History

The constituency was created in 1978 a Mymensingh constituency when the former Mymensingh District was split into two districts: Jamalpur and Mymensingh. ^[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 reduced the boundaries of the constituency by removing two union parishads of Jamalpur Sadar Upazila: Meshta and Titpalla. ^{[2] [6] [7]}
