History
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
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 the Dhaka metropolitan area, increasing the number of constituencies in the capital from 8 to 15, and altered the boundaries of the constituency.[ 5]
