The constituency encompasses Bhandaria, Kawkhali, and Zianagar upazilas.[2]
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Bakerganj constituency when the former Bakerganj District was split into four districts: Bhola, Bakerganj, Jhalokati, and Pirojpur.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[3] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[4]
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission swapped Zianagar Upazila from Pirojpur-1 to Pirojpur-2, and Nesarabad Upazila from Pirojpur-2 to Pirojpur-1.[2][5]
Elections in the 2010s
Anwar Hossain Manju was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[8]
