Chandpur-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.
The constituency encompasses Matlab Dakshin and Matlab Uttar upazilas.[2][3]
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-20 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.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously, it had excluded one union parishad of Matlab Dakshin Upazila: Narayanpur.[3][6]
