Jolly Kyomugisha, the National Unity Platform (NUP) deputy president for Western Uganda, has sadly passed away. She died on Monday afternoon at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, where she had been receiving treatment for several weeks after falling into a coma.

Kyomugisha was a dedicated social worker and a passionate politician. She joined NUP in July 2020 and quickly rose to prominence, being appointed to lead the party in Western Uganda. This region is notable for its historical ties to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), which is home to many of its leaders and founders, including President Yoweri Museveni.

NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu expressed his condolences, highlighting Kyomugisha’s commitment to the party and her community. Her leadership and dedication to social issues will be greatly missed as the party mourns the loss of a pivotal figure.

The passing of Kyomugisha marks a significant moment for NUP, especially in a region where political dynamics are complex and deeply rooted in the legacy of the ruling party. As tributes pour in, her contributions to both the party and her community will be remembered fondly.
