The constituency encompasses Hajiganj and Shahrasti upazilas.
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-23 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.
Rafiqul Islam was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after 18 parties led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party boycotted the election citing unfair conditions for the election.[1]
