Dhaka-19 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.
Boundaries
The constituency encompasses all but the four southernmost union parishads of Savar Upazila: Amin Bazar, Bhakurta, Kaundia, and Tetuljhora.[2][3]
History
The constituency was created when, ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[4] The 2008 redistricting added 7 new seats to 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-12, and the former constituency of that name became Dhaka-19.
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had included one more union parishad of Savar Upazila: Kaundia.[2][3][7]
Md. Enamur Rahman was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[8]
