Constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad

Dhaka-19 Constituency District Dhaka District Division Dhaka Division Electorate 747,070 (2026) Current constituency Created 1973 (Original) 2008 (Redistricted) Parliamentary Party Bangladesh Nationalist Party Member of Parliament Dewan Md. Salauddin ← 191 Dhaka-18 193 Dhaka-20 →

**Dhaka-19** is a constituency represented in the [Jatiya Sangsad](/source/Jatiya_Sangsad) (National Parliament) of [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh). Since 13th February, 2026, this constituency is represented by [Bangladesh Nationalist Party](/source/Bangladesh_Nationalist_Party) candidate [Dewan Md Salauddin](/source/Dewan_Md._Salauddin)

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses [Savar](/source/Savar_Upazila) of [Dhaka District](/source/Dhaka_District), including the unions of Shimulia, Dhamsona, Yearpur, Ashulia, Birulia, Pathalia, and Savar Union, along with [Savar Municipality](/source/Savar_Municipality) and the [Savar Cantonment](/source/Savar_Cantonment), integrating these areas within a single administrative and electoral boundary.[1][2]

## History

The constituency was created when, 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).[3] The 2008 redistricting added 7 new seats to Dhaka District, increasing the number of constituencies in the district from 13 to 20.[4][5] One of the new seats usurped the name [Dhaka-12](/source/Dhaka-12), and the former constituency of that name became Dhaka-19.

Ahead of the [2014 general election](/source/2014_Bangladeshi_general_election), the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had included one more union parishad of Savar Upazila: Kaundia.[1][2][6]
