Ngora District Woman MP Stella Apolot Isodo has died at Kampala Hospital just days after losing her parliamentary seat in the 2026 general election, party officials have confirmed.
However, Isodo, a member of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), had been receiving treatment in an intensive care unit. Her death was confirmed by Ngora County lawmaker Juliet Achayo Lodou.
The legislator’s death follows a difficult re-election campaign conducted while she battled illness. Josephine Pedun, a newcomer representing the National Resistance Movement (NRM), was declared the winner of the Ngora contest with 17,010 votes. Isodo finished second with 11,334 votes.

FDC President Patrick Amuriat said Isodo had been flown abroad for specialized treatment last year and returned shortly before the campaign period.
“She underwent a successful surgery abroad and returned with a hope of recovering well to start campaigns,” Amuriat said. He noted that while Isodo was unable to campaign personally, her agents worked on her behalf.
“She would not have lost that seat if she were not sick.”
In conclusion, we shall keep you updated about the burial arrangements for the late member of Parliament. May her soul rest in peace, she will always be remembered
