Chittagong-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Khadizatul Anwar of the Awami League.

Boundaries[edit]

The constituency encompasses Fatikchhari Upazila.[2][3]

History[edit]

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

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 altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
