The department is located in the south-west of the country and borders Burkina Faso . It extends over the territory of the rural municipality of the same name, Bankilaré . In elections to the National Assembly, the Bankilaré department forms one of eight special constituencies across the country. While the regular constituencies, in which a certain number of MPs are elected, correspond to the eight regions of Niger, those entitled to vote in the special constituencies each elect their own MP.

history

The department goes back to the administrative post ( poste administratif ) of Bankilaré, which was established in 1959.

As a result of the conflict in northern Mali , the Niger government issued a state of emergency in the department of Bankilaré and six other departments in March 2017 , which was subsequently extended several times.
