# Moulvibazar-4

Moulvibazar-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 1991 by Md. Abdus Shahid of the Awami League.

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses the Sreemangal and Kamalganj upazilas.

## History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Sylhet-15 constituency when the former Sylhet District was split into four districts: Sunamganj, Sylhet, Moulvibazar, and Habiganj.

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.

Ahead of the 2018 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency by adding four union parishads of Kamalganj Upazila: Adampur, Alinagar, Islampur, and Shamshernagar.
