Hon. Faith Alupo the Woman MP of Pallisa district has succumbed to the novel coronavirus making her the first Parliamentarian in the country to succumb to the virus.

According to sources close to the family of the deceased, the MP had symptoms associated with Covid-19 which included difficulty in breathing even though the Ministry of Health Spokesperson Emmanuel Ainebyoona could neither confirm nor deny but noted that the ministry would issue a statement over the matter.

Alupo became an MP in June 2018 after the former Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) Woman MP candidate for Pallisa, Catherine Achola was disqualified by the Electoral Commission from the race on grounds that the names she had used for nomination do not tally with those on her academic qualification.

Alupo lost in the recently held NRM primaries to Kevin Kaala Ojinga.

This is a breaking story, we shall update you as more news flocks in.

May her soul rest in peace.
