Tangail-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Abdul Latif Siddiqui.
The constituency encompasses Kalihati Upazila.[2][3]
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
In late 2014, Abdul Latif Siddiqui was expelled from the Awami League for criticizing the practice of hajj, which he described as a drain on the economy.[8][9] He resigned from parliament on 1 September 2015. The resulting by-election was delayed by legal wrangling over whether his brother, Abdul Kader Siddique, could be a candidate. The by-election eventually took place in January 2017, and was won by Awami League candidate Hasan Imam Khan.[10]
