[[Jashim uddin ahammed]] is current member of Parliament from this constituency.
== Boundaries == The constituency encompasses [[Chandanaish Upazila]] and six [[Union Parishad|union parishads]] of [[Satkania Upazila]] Bazalia, Dharmapur, Kaliais, Keochia, Khagaria, and Puranagar integrating these areas under a single administrative and electoral boundary.<ref name="ecs" />
== History == The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
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 renumbered the seat for Chittagong-16 (Sandwip) to Chittagong-3, bumping up by one the suffix of the former constituency of that name and higher numbered constituencies in the district. Thus Chittagong-14 covers the area previously covered by Chittagong-13. Previously Chittagong-14 encompassed [[Lohagara Upazila, Chittagong|Lohagara]] and all but seven union parishads of [[Satkania Upazila|Satkania]]: Bazalia, Dharmapur, Kaliais, Keochia, Khagaria, Puranagar, and Sadaha.<ref name="maps" /><ref name="ecs" /><ref name="ds4Jul2013" />
