Constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad

Chittagong-7 Constituency for the Jatiya Sangsad District Chittagong District Division Chittagong Division Electorate 319,008 (2026) Current constituency Created 1973 Parliamentary Party Bangladesh Nationalist Party Member of Parliament Humam Quader Chowdhury ← 283 Chittagong-6 285 Chittagong-8 →

**Chittagong-7** is a constituency represented in the [Jatiya Sangsad](/source/Jatiya_Sangsad) (National Parliament) of [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh). [Humam Quader Chowdhury](/source/Humam_Quader_Chowdhury) is the incumbent member of Parliament from this constituency.

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses the entirety of [Rangunia Upazila](/source/Rangunia_Upazila) and one [union parishad](/source/Union_parishad) of [Boalkhali Upazila](/source/Boalkhali_Upazila), namely Sreepur Kharandwip, integrating these areas 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 [2008 general election](/source/2008_Bangladeshi_general_election), the [Election Commission](/source/Bangladesh_Election_Commission) redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the [2001 Bangladesh census](/source/2001_Bangladesh_census).[2] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[3]

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. Prior to that, Chittagong-7 had encompassed all but one union parishad (Sreepur Kharandwip) of [Boalkhali Upazila](/source/Boalkhali_Upazila), and [Chittagong City Corporation](/source/Chittagong_City_Corporation) wards 3 through 7.[1][4]
