From 13th February, 2026, this constituency is held by the [Bangladesh Nationalist Party](/source/Bangladesh_Nationalist_Party) Candidate [Bobby Hajjaj](/source/Bobby_Hajjaj).[1] ## Boundaries The constituency encompasses wards 28 through 34 of [Dhaka North City Corporation](/source/Dhaka_North_City_Corporation), integrating these areas within a single administrative and electoral boundary. ## History The constituency was created for the first general elections in 1984.[2] ### 2026 election controversy During the [2026 Bangladeshi general election](/source/2026_Bangladeshi_general_election), initially, [NTV](/source/NTV_(Bangladeshi_TV_channel)) announced that [Mamunul Haque](/source/Mamunul_Haque) from [Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis](/source/Bangladesh_Khelafat_Majlis) had won the constituency; however, the announcement was later reported as an error. Mamunul Haque filed a complaint indicating that significant irregularities during vote counting compromised the legitimacy of the final result. His complaint focused on a flawed ballot design and procedural manipulation during counting. It was witnessed that numerous ballots layout featuring nine candidates across ten slots with one blank space caused widespread voter confusion. Mamamunul's name and mark appeared beside the empty slots, leading many voters to mistakenly stamp the blank box. As a result, an estimated 1,200 votes were cancelled across 50 centres, with the total potentially reaching around 3,000 across all centres, a number exceeding the official margin of defeat.[3][4] Mamunul also reported signs of tampered result sheets, overwritten numbers, removal of polling agents, and irregularities such as unsigned or pre‑signed counting forms. [Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami](/source/Bangladesh_Jamaat-e-Islami) described this as coordinated vote engineering that obstructed an accurate reflection of voter intent, which later caused protests accoss the country.[5][6] ## Members of Parliament Election Member Party 1973 Gazi Golam Mostafa Bangladesh Awami League 1979 Abul Hasnat Bangladesh Nationalist Party Major Boundary Changes 1986 Khan Mohammad Israfil Jatiya Party (Ershad) 1991 Ziaur Rahman Khan Bangladesh Nationalist Party[7] Major Boundary Changes 2008 Jahangir Kabir Nanak Bangladesh Awami League[8] 2018 Sadek Khan 2024 Jahangir Kabir Nanak 2026 Bobby Hajjaj Bangladesh Nationalist Party ## Elections General Election 2026: Dhaka-13[9] Party Candidate Votes % ±% BNP Bobby Hajjaj 88,387 50.7 +19.5 BKM Mamunul Haque 86,067 49.3 New Majority 2,320 1.3 −47.5 Turnout 178,454 43.7 +6.6 Registered electors 408,791 BNP gain from AL ### Elections in the 2010s General Election 2018[10] Party Candidate Votes % ±% AL Md.
