Barguna-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Sultana Nadira of the Awami League.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Bamna, Betagi, and Patharghata upazilas.

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Patuakhali-1 constituency when the former Patuakhali District was split into two districts: Barguna and Patuakhali.

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.
