Gazipur-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2004 by Zahid Ahsan Russell of the Awami League.
Boundaries
The constituency encompasses Gazipur City Corporation wards 19 through 39 and 43 through 57, and Gazipur Cantonment.[2]
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.
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 fifth seat to Gazipur District and altered the boundaries of Gazipur-2.[4]
