Barguna-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Golam Sorowar Tuku of the Awami League.

Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency encompasses Amtali, Barguna Sadar, and Taltali upazilas.[2][3]

History

[edit]

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Patuakhali constituency when the former Patuakhali District was split into two districts: Barguna and Patuakhali.[4]

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[5] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[6]
