Manikganj-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2026 by Moinul Islam Khan of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
Boundaries The constituency encompasses Harirampur and Singair upazilas, and three union parishads of Manikganj Sadar Upazila: Bhararia, Hati Para, and Putail.
History The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.
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.
