Gazipur-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. M Manjurul Karim Roni is the incumbent member of Parliament.
The constituency encompasses Gazipur City Corporation wards 19 through 39 and 43 through 57, and Gazipur Cantonment.[1]
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[2] The 2008 redistricting added a fifth seat to Gazipur District and altered the boundaries of Gazipur-2.[3]
