The people of Nakasongola District woke up to the devastating news of the passing of their former Woman Member of Parliament, Margaret Komuhangi, on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

Komuhangi, who served two terms from 2011 to 2021, left an indelible mark in the district, particularly in the areas of women's empowerment and infrastructure development.

"I don't have the details about the death, but the Thursday early morning news is saddening. Komuhangi was a mother and greatly contributed to the welfare of the women among many other projects in Nakasongola District," said Mr Sam Kigula, the Nakasongola District LC5 Chairperson. "We are waiting for detailed information from both the family and government."

Canon Christopher Nkoyoyo, the Nakasongola District NRM party Chairperson, echoed similar sentiments, saying, "Nakasongola has lost a great pillar in the areas of development. Komuhangi in her capacity as District woman MP greatly contributed to the uplifting of the women through different projects. The news is very shocking."

The details about the health complications that ended her life at a health facility in India, and the funeral arrangements are yet to be made public.

Komuhangi was the NRM party flagbearer for Nakasongola District Woman seat but lost to an independent candidate, Ms Victorious Zawedde in the 2021 general elections.
