Shariatpur-2
constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad
Shariatpur-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2026 by Safiqur Rahman Kiran of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
Boundaries
The constituency encompasses Naria Upazila and the Sakhipur Thana portion of Bhedarganj Upazila. Sakhipur Thana consists of Arshi Nagar, Char Bhaga, Char Kumaria, Char Census, Dhakhin Tarabunia, Digar Mahishkhali, Kachikata, Sakhipur, and Tarabunia union parishads.
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Faridpur-15 constituency when the former Faridpur District was split into five districts: Rajbari, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Madaripur, and Shariatpur.
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.

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Shariatpur-2” is constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Shariatpur-2, constituency and Bangladesh's, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “constituency of Bangladesh's Jatiya Sangsad” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24694500. Authority coordinates are 23.300, 90.410. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2026, 1984, 2008 and 2001.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
