It has been represented by '''Khaled Hossain''' '''Mahboob''' since 13th February, 2026.
== Boundaries == The constituency encompasses [[Bijoynagar Upazila|Bijoynagar]] and [[Brahmanbaria Sadar Upazila|Brahmanbaria Sadar]] upazilas.<ref name="maps" /><ref name="ecs" />
== History == The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-3 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" />
Ahead of the [[2014 Bangladeshi general election|2014 general election]], the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency to include all of the former Brahmanbaria Sadar (which in 2010 had been split into a smaller Brahmanbaria Sadar Upazila and the new Bijoynagar Upazila). Previously the constituency had excluded six [[Union Parishad|union parishads]]: Budhal, Budhanti, Chandura, Harashpur, Majlishpur, and Purba Talsahar.<ref name="ecs" /><ref name="ds4Jul2013" />
