Speaker Among then turned to the business of continuity, formally congratulating sitting legislators who retained their seats in the January 15th election.
The newly elected MPs, whose swearing-in is scheduled for May, will join the House following the established parliamentary calendar.
The late Hon. Stella Apolot Isodo will be laid to rest on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at her ancestral home in Osigiria Village, Ngora Town Council, Ngora District.
