Kurigram-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024 The constituency is vacant.
The constituency encompasses Kurigram Sadar, Phulbari, and Rajarhat upazilas. [1]
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Rangpur-14 constituency when the former Rangpur District was split into five districts: Nilphamari, Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Kurigram, and Gaibandha.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. [2] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency. [3]
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it excluded four union parishads of Rajarhat Upazila: Bidyananda, Gharialdanga, Nazimkhan, and Omar Majid. [1] [4] [5]
Md. Tajul Islam Choudhury was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election. [10]
Hussain Muhammad Ershad stood for three seats in the 2008 general election: Rangpur-3, Kurigram-2, and Dhaka-17. After winning all three, he chose to represent Dhaka-17 and quit the other two, triggering by-elections in them. [11] Zafar Ali of the Awami League was elected in an April 2009 by-election. [12]
