Narsingdi-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by Anwarul Ashraf Khan of the Awami League.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Palash Upazila and three union parishads of Narsingdi Sadar Upazila: Amdia, Meher Para, and Panchdona.^[2]^[3]

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Dhaka-25 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.^[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.^[5]

Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had included a fourth union parishad of Narsingdi Sadar Upazila: Silmandi.^[3]^[6]
