Constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad

Chittagong-4 Constituency for the Jatiya Sangsad District Chittagong District Division Chittagong Division Electorate 448,380 (2026) Current constituency Created 1973 Member of Parliament Vacant[a] ← 280 Chittagong-3 282 Chittagong-5 →

**Chittagong-4** is a constituency represented in the [Jatiya Sangsad](/source/Jatiya_Sangsad) (National Parliament) of [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh). Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses the entirety of [Sitakunda Upazila](/source/Sitakunda_Upazila), the [Bangladesh Military Academy](/source/Bangladesh_Military_Academy), and parts of the [Chattogram City Corporation](/source/Chattogram_City_Corporation), specifically No. 9 [North Pahartali Ward](/source/North_Pahartali_Ward) and No. 10 [North Kattali Ward](/source/North_Kattali_Ward), integrating these areas under a single administrative and electoral boundary.[2]

## 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-4 encompassed [Bayazid Thana](/source/Bayazid_Thana) and [Hathazari Upazila](/source/Hathazari_Upazila).[2][3]

## Notes

1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** [Election Commission](/source/Election_Commission_(Bangladesh)) has postponed the results.[1]

1. **[^](#cite_ref-2014votes_12-0)** Sources vary with regard to the 2014 vote count. They report between 153,391 and 153,815 votes for the winner, and between 1,250 and 6,848 votes for the Jatiya Party (Manju) candidate, but the discrepancies in the figures are not large enough to change the overall outcome.
