Chandpur-2 is a constituency of the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency was vacant.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Matlab Dakshin and Matlab Uttar upazilas.

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-20 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.

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 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously, it had excluded one union parishad of Matlab Dakshin Upazila: Narayanpur.
