Mymensingh-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2014 by Sharif Ahmed of the Awami League.
Boundaries
The constituency encompasses Phulpur Upazila and Tarakanda Upazila.
History
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
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 to include all of the former Phulpur Upazila (which in 2012 had been split into a smaller Phulpur Upazila and the new Tarakanda Upazila). Previously the constituency had excluded one union parishad: Bishka.
