Noakhali-1

Noakhali-1 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2014 by H. M. Ibrahim of the Awami League.

Boundaries
The constituency encompasses Chatkhil Upazila and Sonaimuri Upazila but excluding these four union parishads of Sonaimuri Upazila: Ambarnagar, Baragaon, Bazra and Nateshwar.

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

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.

Elections in the 2010s
H. M. Ibrahim was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.

Elections in the 2000s
Ganatantri Party candidate Nurul Islam died days before the 29 December 2008 general election. Voting in the constituency was postponed until 12 January 2009. H. M. Ibrahim, who had earlier withdrawn in favor of Nurul Islam, ran in his place as the Grand Alliance candidate.
