# Manikganj-1

Manikganj-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Salauddin Mahmud of the Awami League.

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Daulatpur, Ghior, and Shivalaya upazilas.

## History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Dhaka-1 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. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
