Dhaka-19


Dhaka-19 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Savar of Dhaka District, including the unions of Shimulia, Dhamsona, Yearpur, Ashulia, Birulia, Pathalia, and Savar Union, along with Savar Municipality and the Savar Cantonment, integrating these areas within a single administrative and electoral boundary.

History

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. The 2008 redistricting added 7 new seats to Dhaka District, increasing the number of constituencies in the district from 13 to 20. One of the new seats usurped the name Dhaka-12, and the former constituency of that name became Dhaka-19.
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had included one more union parishad of Savar Upazila: Kaundia.
