Munshiganj-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2019 by Mahi B. Chowdhury of the Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh.
The constituency encompasses Sirajdikhan and Sreenagar upazilas. [2] [3]
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.
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 reduced the number of seats in the district from four to three, [5] making each of the surviving three larger.
