The 1st constituency of the Aisne is a French legislative constituency in the Aisne département.

Description

Aisne's 1st constituency stretches from the centre of the department to its eastern border, and includes the city of Laon. The seat was held by one man, René Dosière, from 1988 to 2017, with the exception of between 1993 and 1997, when it was captured the Gaullist RPR.

Unusually the second round at the 2012 election featured two candidates from the left René Dosière and Fawaz Karimet of the official Socialist Party.

The constituency was taken by Aude Bono-Vandorme as part of the En Marche! landslide victory in the 2017 election.
