Pirojpur-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.

## Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency encompasses Bhandaria, Kawkhali, and Zianagar upazilas.[2]

## History

[edit]

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Bakerganj constituency when the former Bakerganj District was split into four districts: Bhola, Bakerganj, Jhalokati, and Pirojpur.

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 altered the boundaries of the constituency.[4]

Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission swapped Zianagar Upazila from Pirojpur-1 to Pirojpur-2, and Nesarabad Upazila from Pirojpur-2 to Pirojpur-1.[2][5]
