Dhaka-20

Dhaka-20 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.

Boundaries

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

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. At the previous general election, in 2001, Dhamrai Upazila corresponded to constituency Dhaka-13. 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-13, and the former constituency of that name became Dhaka-20.
