== Boundaries == The constituency encompasses [[Sreepur Upazila, Gazipur|Sreepur Upazila]] and three [[Union Parishad|union parishads]] of [[Gazipur Sadar Upazila]]—Bhawal Garh, Pirujali, and Mirzapur—integrating the area under a single administrative and electoral boundary.<ref name="ecs" />

== History == The constituency was created in 1984 from the Dhaka-23 constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: [[Manikganj District|Manikganj]], [[Munshiganj District|Munshiganj]], [[Dhaka District|Dhaka]], [[Gazipur District|Gazipur]], [[Narsingdi District|Narsingdi]], and [[Narayanganj District|Narayanganj]].

Ahead of the [[2008 Bangladeshi general election|2008 general election]], the [[Bangladesh Election Commission|Election Commission]] redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the [[2001 Bangladesh census]].<ref name="Rahman2010" /> The 2008 redistricting added a fifth seat to Gazipur District and altered the boundaries of Gazipur-3.<ref name="ds11Jul2008" />
