History
The constituency was changed in 2012 when the initial Nadowli District was divided into the Nadowli-Kaleo District and Daffiama-Bussie-Issa District. Therefore, the Nadowli Kaleo became the constituency rather than the initial Nadawli West and the Nadowli East constituency was also changed to Daffiama-Bussie-Issa constituency.[1][2]
