Gazipur-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency is vacant.
The constituency encompasses Sreepur Upazila and two union parishads of Gazipur Sadar Upazila: Bhawal Garh, Pirujali & Mirzapur .
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Dhaka-23 constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.
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 added a fifth seat to Gazipur District and altered the boundaries of Gazipur-3.
Awami League nominated candidate Rumana Ali won the seat in the 12th National Parliament election on 7 January 2024. [1] [2]
Rahmat Ali was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.
