## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses [Bishwamvarpur](/source/Bishwamvarpur_Upazila) and [Sunamganj Sadar](/source/Sunamganj_Sadar_Upazila) upazilas.[2]

## History

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Sylhet constituency when the former Sylhet District was split into four districts: [Sunamganj](/source/Sunamganj_District), [Sylhet](/source/Sylhet_District), [Moulvibazar](/source/Moulvibazar_District), and [Habiganj](/source/Habiganj_District).[3]

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).[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]

Ahead of the [2014 general election](/source/2014_Bangladeshi_general_election), the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had also included one [union parishad](/source/Union_parishad) of [Dowarabazar Upazila](/source/Dowarabazar_Upazila): Mannargaon.[6][7]
