Constituency of Bangladesh’s Jatiya Sangsad

Dhaka-17 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by Akbar Hossain Pathan Farooque of the Awami League.

Boundaries[edit]

The constituency encompasses Dhaka Cantonment and Dhaka North City Corporation wards 15 and 18 through 20.[2][3]

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.[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.[5]
