The 1st constituency of the Nièvre is a French legislative constituency in the Nièvre département.
Description
The 1st constituency of the Nièvre covers the western portion of the department and includes the prefecture Nevers.
The seat was substantially changed prior to the 2012 election as a result of the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies in which Nièvre lost one of its three historic constituencies. The new seat has, like its predecessor, continued to elected Socialist representation.
The seat was represented by former Prime Minister Pierre Bérégovoy until his suicide shortly after the 1993 election. An election in which the Socialist Party under his leadership suffered a huge defeat.
