The constituency encompasses Madarganj and Melandaha upazilas.[2][3]
The constituency was created in 1978 from the Mymensingh-13 constituency when the former Mymensingh District was split into two districts: Jamalpur and Mymensingh.[4]
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[5] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[6]
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had excluded two union parishads of Melandaha Upazila: Mahmudpur and Shaympur.[3][7]
Elections in the 2010s
Mirza Azam was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[12]
