Election Commission (EC) official Anwarul Islam Sarkar announced that a technical committee has proposed reducing one parliamentary seat in Bagerhat due to a lower voter count, and adding one in Gazipur, where voter numbers have significantly increased. “According to Articles 119–124 of the Constitution, the EC is responsible for delimiting constituencies. This process considered expert input and data from the 2022 census,” he explained. Based on voter averages, each constituency should represent approximately 420,000 voters. While Gazipur exceeds this average, Bagerhat falls short — justifying the proposed adjustments.
