Dhaka-18 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2026 by SM Jahangir Hossain of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Dhaka North City Corporation wards 1 and 17, and Dakshin Khan, Khilkhet, Turag, Uttara, and Uttar Khan thanas.[1][2]

History

The constituency was created when, ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[3] The 2008 redistricting added 7 new seats to the Dhaka metropolitan area, increasing the number of constituencies in the capital from 8 to 15.[4]
