Former National Unity Platform (NUP) flagbearer in the recent Omoro by-election, Simon Toolit has passed on.
According to reports, Simon Toolit was admitted to Lacor Hospital in Gulu two days ago and passed on this afternoon.
Details about his exact illness are scanty.
Toolit, a former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) member, was the representative for Omoro in parliament before the late Speaker Jacob Oulanyah seized the position from the seasoned politician and businessman.
