Since 13th February, 2026, this constituency is represented by '''MA Hannan,''' a member of the [[Bangladesh Nationalist Party]].
== Boundaries == The constituency encompasses the entirety of [[Nasirnagar Upazila]], integrating the area within a single administrative and electoral boundary.<ref name="ecs" />
== History == The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-6 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: [[Brahmanbaria District|Brahmanbaria]], [[Comilla District|Comilla]], and [[Chandpur District|Chandpur]].
Ahead of the [[2008 Bangladeshi general election|2008 general election]], the [[Bangladesh Election Commission|Election Commission]] redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the [[2001 Bangladesh census]].<ref name="Rahman2010" /> The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.<ref name="ds11Jul2008" />
Before the [[2014 Bangladeshi general election|2014 general election]], the Election Commission reduced the constituency's boundaries. Previously, the constituency had included three [[union parishad]]s of [[Brahmanbaria Sadar Upazila]] (after 2010, the new Bijoynagar Upazila): Budhanti, Chandura, and Harashpur.<ref name="ecs" /><ref name="ds4Jul2013" />
