Shariatpur-1

Shariatpur-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Shariatpur Sadar and Zanjira upazilas.

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Faridpur-14 constituency when the former Faridpur District was split into five districts: Rajbari, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Madaripur, and Shariatpur.

B. M. Muzammel Haque was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.

Abdur Razzak stood for two seats in the June 1996 general election, and won both of them: Shariatpur-1 and Shariatpur-3. He chose to represent Shariatpur-3 and quit Shariatpur-1, triggering a by-election. Master Majibur Rahman, of the Awami League, was elected in a September 1996 by-election.
