Boundaries

The constituency encompasses the entirety of Nasirnagar Upazila, integrating the area within a single administrative and electoral boundary.

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-6 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
Before the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the constituency's boundaries. Previously, the constituency had included three union parishads of Brahmanbaria Sadar Upazila : Budhanti, Chandura, and Harashpur.
