Constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad

Dhaka-20 Constituency for the Jatiya Sangsad District Dhaka District Division Dhaka Division Electorate 376,639 (2026) Current constituency Created 1973 (Original) 2008 (Redistricted) Parliamentary Party Bangladesh Nationalist Party Member of Parliament Md Tamiz Uddin ← 192 Dhaka-19 194 Gazipur-1 →

**Dhaka-20** 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 [Md Tamiz Uddin](/source/Md_Tamiz_Uddin).

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses the entirety of [Dhamrai Upazila](/source/Dhamrai_Upazila), integrating the area under 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] At the previous general election, in 2001, [Dhamrai Upazila](/source/Dhamrai_Upazila) corresponded to constituency [Dhaka-13](/source/Dhaka-13).[4] The 2008 redistricting added 7 new seats to [Dhaka District](/source/Dhaka_District), increasing the number of constituencies in the district from 13 to 20.[5][6] One of the new seats usurped the name [Dhaka-13](/source/Dhaka-13), and the former constituency of that name became [Dhaka-20](/source/Dhamrai_Upazila).
