The constituency encompasses Companiganj, Gowainghat, and Jaintiapur upazilas, integrating these areas within a single administrative and electoral boundary.[2][3]
History
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
Saifur Rahman stood for three seats in the June 1996 general election, and won two of them: Sylhet-4 and Moulvibazar-3. He chose to represent Moulvibazar-3 and quit Sylhet-4, triggering a by-election. His main opponent from the general election, Imran Ahmad, was elected in a September 1996 by-election.[14]
