Dhaka-5

Dhaka-5 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. This constituency is represented by Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Mohammad Kamal Hossain.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses wards 48 through 50 and 62-70 of Dhaka South City Corporation, as well as four union parishads of Demra, Jatrabari, and Shyampur Thana: Dhania, Demra, Matuail, and Sarulia integrating these areas within a single administrative and electoral boundary.

History

The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
