**Bagerhat-1** is a constituency represented in the [Jatiya Sangsad](/source/Jatiya_Sangsad) (National Parliament) of [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh).

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses [Fakirhat](/source/Fakirhat_Upazila), [Mollahat](/source/Mollahat_Upazila), and [Chitalmari](/source/Chitalmari_Upazila) upazilas, integrating these areas within a single administrative and electoral boundary.[1]

## History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the [Khulna-1](/source/Khulna-1) constituency when the former Khulna District was split into three districts: [Bagerhat](/source/Bagerhat_District), [Khulna](/source/Khulna_District), and [Satkhira](/source/Satkhira_District).

Ahead of the [2026 general election](/source/2026_Bangladeshi_general_election), the [Election Commission](/source/Bangladesh_Election_Commission) redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the [2022 Bangladeshi census](/source/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](/source/Chitalmari_Upazila), [Fakirhat](/source/Fakirhat_Upazila), and [Mollahat](/source/Mollahat_Upazila) upazilas.[3][4]
