Parliament will today (Wednesday) hold a special plenary sitting to pay tribute to the late Ngora District Woman Member of Parliament, Stella Apolot Isodo, who passed away on Saturday, January 17, in Kampala.
According to the Order Paper released by Parliament’s Directorate of Communications and Public Affairs (CPA), the special sitting will commence at 2:00 pm, following the arrival of the late legislator’s body at Parliament at 10:00 am.
The death of Isodo was announced by the Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, through her official social media account on X, where she revealed that the legislator had been battling a short illness.
At the time of her death, Isodo had served as the Woman MP for Ngora District, having been elected on the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) ticket in the 2021 general elections.
Prior to her passing, Isodo had been actively campaigning in a bid to retain her parliamentary seat, although her efforts were repeatedly disrupted by persistent health challenges.
In the recently concluded parliamentary race for Ngora District Woman MP, the seat was won by Pedun Josephine of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), who secured 17,010 votes.
The Democratic Party (DP)–backed candidate, Christine Abeja, came second with 12,152 votes, while Isodo finished third with 11,334 votes.
