Pabna-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2026 by Nazibur Rahman Momen of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Santhia Upazila.

History

The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.

As of 2008, the constituency encompassed Santhia Upazila, Bera Municipality, and four union parishads of Bera Upazila: Chakla, Haturia Nakalia, Kytola, and Nutan Bharenga.

Ahead of the 2026 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency by removing the portion of Bera Upazila that it used to contain. The change was challenged in court, but ultimately upheld.
