Tangail-8 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Anupam Shahjahan Joy of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses Basail and Sakhipur upazilas.[2][3]
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
Shawkat Momen Shahjahan died in January 2014, barely two weeks after the general election. Anupam Shahjahan Joy, his son, was elected in a by-election conducted in March and April. He defeated independent candidates Md. Malek Mian, Abu Sayed Azad, and Liakat Ali, and Jatiya Party (Ershad) candidate Sadek Siddiqui.[9][10]
Shawkat Momen Shahjahan was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[11]
