The constituency encompasses Bancharampur Upazila.[2]
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 revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[3] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[4]
Ahead of the 2018 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency by removing two union parishads of Nabinagar Upazila: Barikandi and Salimganj.[5][2][6]
Elections in the 2010s
AB Tajul Islam was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[10]
