Munshiganj-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2008 by Sagufta Yasmin of the Awami League.

Boundaries[edit]

The constituency encompasses Lohajang and Tongibari upazilas.[2][3]

History[edit]

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka 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.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
