# Netrokona-1

Netrokona-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2024 by Mustaque Ahmed Ruhi of the Awami League.

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Durgapur and Kalmakanda upazilas.

## History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Mymensingh-12 constituency when the former Mymensingh District was split into four districts: Mymensingh, Sherpur, Netrokona, and Kishoreganj.
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.
