Chittagong-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024 the constituency is Vacant.
Boundaries
The constituency encompasses Sitakunda Upazila and Bangladesh Military Academy and Chattogram City Corporation
No.9 North Pahartali Ward and No.10 North Kattali Ward.
History
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission renumbered the seat for Sandwip Upazila from Chittagong-16 to Chittagong-3, bumping up by one the suffix of the former constituency of that name and the higher numbered constituencies in the district. Previously Chittagong-4 encompassed Bayazid Thana and Hathazari Upazila.
