Bhola-1
Bhola-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.
Boundaries
The constituency encompasses the entirety of Bhola Sadar Upazila, integrating the area within a single administrative and electoral boundary.
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Bakerganj-1 constituency when the former Bakerganj District was split into four districts: Bhola, Bakerganj, Jhalokati, and Pirojpur.
Tofail Ahmed was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.
Tofail Ahmed stood for two seats in the June 1996 general election: Bhola-1 and Bhola-2. After winning both, he chose to represent the latter and quit the former, triggering a by-election. The High Court, however, stayed the by-election, and the seat remained vacant for the entire tenure of the seventh parliament.
