Bagerhat-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.

Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency encompasses Fakirhat, Mollahat, and Chitalmari upazilas, integrating these areas within a single administrative and electoral boundary.[1]

History

[edit]

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Khulna-1 constituency when the former Khulna District was split into three districts: Bagerhat, Khulna, and Satkhira.

Ahead of the 2026 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2022 Bangladeshi census. This 2025 redistricting reduced the number of constituencies in Bagerhat District from four to three and altered the boundaries of Bagerhat-1.[2] Previously it encompassed Chitalmari, Fakirhat, and Mollahat upazilas.[3][4]
