Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Damudya and Gosairhat upazilas and the Bhedarganj Thana portion of Bhedarganj Upazila, all in Shariatpur District. Bhedarganj Thana consists of Bhedarganj Municipality and Chhaygaon, Mahisar, Naryanpur, and Rambhadrapur Union Parishads. ^{[2] [3]}

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Faridpur-16 constituency when the former Faridpur District was split into five districts: Rajbari, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Madaripur, and Shariatpur. ^[4]

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. ^[5] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency. ^[6]
