Satkhira-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2008 by AFM Ruhal Haque of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses Assasuni and Debhata upazilas and the four northernmost union parishadsofKaliganj Upazila: Bhara Simla, Champaphul, Nalta, and Tarali.[2][3]
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Khulna constituency when the former Khulna District was split into three districts: Bagerhat, Khulna, and Satkhira.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
AFM Ruhal Haque was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[8]
