Mymensingh-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Mahmudul Haque Saeam.

## Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency encompasses Haluaghat Upazila and Dhobaura Upazila.[2][3]

## History

[edit]

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.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]

## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ Some sources report a slightly higher 2016 vote count for Areng, 170,270.
2. ^ The only sources that report on the third place finisher are internally inconsistent, but the discrepancies in their figures are not large enough to change the outcome.
