Nilphamari-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by Ahsan Adelur Rahman of the Jatiya Party (Ershad).

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Saidpur and Kishoreganj upazilas.[2]

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Rangpur constituency when the former Rangpur District was split into five districts: Nilphamari, Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Kurigram, and Gaibandha.

Ahead of the 2018 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it excluded the three northernmost union parishads of Kishoreganj Upazila: Barabhita, Putimari, and Ranachandi.[3][4]
