Jessore-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2008 by Kazi Nabil Ahmed of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses all but one union parishad of Jessore Sadar Upazila: Basundia.[2]
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[3] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[4]
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it excluded four more union parishads of Jessore Sadar Upazila: Fathehpur, Ichhali, Kachua, and Narendrapur.[5][2][6]
Kazi Nabil Ahmed was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[11]
