Constituency NA-204 (Larkana-I) (Urdu: این اے-۲۰۴، لاڑکانہ-۱) was a constituency for the National Assembly of Pakistan. It was abolished in the 2018 delimitation after the overlap between the constituencies of Larkana District and Qambar Shahdadkot District was undone.[1] Now the two districts have separate constituencies: NA-200 (Larkana-I), NA-201 (Larkana-II), NA-202 (Qambar Shahdadkot-I), and NA-203 (Qambar Shahdadkot-II). And the area of the former NA-204 is divided between NA-200 and NA-201.[2]
