Sunamganj-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2014 by Pir Fazlur Rahman of the Jatiya Party (Ershad).
The constituency encompasses Bishwamvarpur and Sunamganj Sadar upazilas.[2]
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Sylhet constituency when the former Sylhet District was split into four districts: Sunamganj, Sylhet, Moulvibazar, and Habiganj.[3]
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]
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had also included one union parishadofDowarabazar Upazila: Mannargaon.[6][7]
Pir Fazlur Rahman was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[11]
Momtaj Iqbal died in April 2009. Md. Matiur Rahman, of the Awami League, was elected in a June 2009 by-election.[12]
