Chandpur-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. The current member of parliament is Sheikh Farid Ahmed Manik.
The constituency encompasses Chandpur Sadar and Haimchar upazilas.[2][3]
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Comilla 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 in light of the 2001 Bangladesh census.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
