Dhaka-10 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Ferdous Ahmed of Awami League.

Boundaries[edit]

The constituency encompasses Dhaka South City Corporation wards 14 through 18, and 22.[2][3]

History[edit]

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