# Shariatpur-2

Shariatpur-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by AKM Enamul Haque Shamim of the Awami League.

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Naria Upazila and the Sakhipur Thana portion of Bhedarganj Upazila. Sakhipur Thana consists of Arshi Nagar, Char Bhaga, Char Kumaria, Char Census, Dhakhin Tarabunia, Digar Mahishkhali, Kachikata, Sakhipur, and Tarabunia union parishads.

## History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Faridpur-15 constituency when the former Faridpur District was split into five districts: Rajbari, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Madaripur, and Shariatpur.
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.
