Pirojpur-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by SM Rezaul Karim of the Awami League.
Boundaries
[edit]The constituency encompasses Nazirpur, Pirojpur Sadar, and Nesarabad upazilas.[2][3]
History
[edit]The constituency was created in 1984 from the Bakerganj-14 constituency when the former Bakerganj District was split into four districts: Bhola, Bakerganj, Jhalokati, and Pirojpur.
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]
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission swapped Zianagar Upazila from Pirojpur-1 to Pirojpur-2, and Nesarabad Upazila from Pirojpur-2 to Pirojpur-1.[3][6]
