## History

The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.

### Elections in the 1990s

[edit]

Saifur Rahman stood for three seats in the June 1996 general election, and won two of them: Sylhet-4 and Moulvibazar-3. He chose to represent Moulvibazar-3 and quit Sylhet-4, triggering a by-election. His main opponent from the general election, Imran Ahmad, was elected in a September 1996 by-election.[14]
