Constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad

Chittagong-3 Constituency for the Jatiya Sangsad District Chittagong District Division Chittagong Division Electorate 260,485 (2026) Current constituency Created 1973 Parliamentary Party Bangladesh Nationalist Party Member of Parliament Mostafa Kamal Pasha ← 279 Chittagong-2 281 Chittagong-4 →

**Chittagong-3** is a constituency represented in the [Jatiya Sangsad](/source/Jatiya_Sangsad), the national parliament of [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh).

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses the entirety of [Sandwip Upazila](/source/Sandwip_Upazila), including its main towns, villages, and surrounding rural areas, as well as the island of [Urirchar](/source/Urirchar), integrating both regions under a single administrative and electoral boundary.[1]

## History

The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.

Ahead of the [2014 general election](/source/2014_Bangladeshi_general_election), the Election Commission renumbered the seat for [Sandwip Upazila](/source/Sandwip_Upazila) from Chittagong-16 to Chittagong-3, bumping up by one the suffix of the former constituency of that name and the higher numbered constituencies in the district. Previously Chittagong-3 encompassed [Sitakunda Upazila](/source/Sitakunda_Upazila) and [Chittagong City Corporation](/source/Chittagong_City_Corporation) wards 9 and 10.[1][2]
