Constituency of Bangladesh’s Jatiya Sangsad
Gazipur-5 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2008 by Meher Afroz Chumki of the Awami League.
Boundaries[edit]
The constituency encompasses Kaliganj Upazila, Gazipur City Corporation wards 39 through 42, and one union parishad of Gazipur Sadar Upazila: Baria.[2]
History[edit]
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.[3] The 2008 redistricting added a new seat to Gazipur District, increasing the number of constituencies in the district from four to five.[4]
