Gazipur-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.
The constituency encompasses Sreepur Upazila and three union parishads of Gazipur Sadar Upazila: Bhawal Garh, Pirujali & Mirzapur .[1]
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Dhaka-23 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-3.[3]
