Chandpur-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by Muhammad Shafiqur Rahman of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses Faridganj Upazila.
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-22 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
Shamsul Haque Bhuiyan was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election citing a government crackdown and unfair conditions for the election.[1]
