The constituency encompasses Kamarkhanda Upazila, Sirajganj Municipality, and five union parishads of Sirajganj Sadar Upazila: Kalia Haripur, Kaoakola, Khoksabari, Saidabad, and Shialkul.[2]
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Pabna constituency when the former Pabna District was split into two districts: Sirajganj and Pabna.[3]
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
Ahead of the 2018 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency by removing one union parishad of Sirajganj Sadar Upazila: Bahuli.[6][2][7]
Elections in the 2010s
Md. Habibe Millat was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[10]
