Gazipur-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency is vacant.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Sreepur Upazila and two union parishads of Gazipur Sadar Upazila: Bhawal Garh, Pirujali & Mirzapur .[2]

History

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

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[3] The 2008 redistricting added a fifth seat to Gazipur District and altered the boundaries of Gazipur-3.[4]
