Other high profile people at the funeral included Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party president Patrick Oboi Amuriat and general secretary Nathan Nandala Mafabi, who was a candidate in the 2026 presidential election.
Apolot, a member of FDC, died last Saturday at Kampala Hospital only days after losing her re-election bid to National Resistance Movement (NRM) flagbearer Josephine Pedun.
She was 51.
Parliament held a special sitting mid-this week to honour the late legislator.
