PADYERE Member of Parliament David Ringe Chan is dead. He passed away yesterday at his home in Nebbi district at about 4:00pm.

Ringe Chan died of hypertension, according to the resident district commissioner (RDC), Betty Adima.

Ringe Chan was last week admitted to Arua Hospital and was discharged on Wednesday and was scheduled to travel to Kampala for further review. But yesterday, he collapsed and died.

Ringe Chan became an MP in 2006 on Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) ticket, replacing Patrick Okumu Ringa.

He is the latest MP to die, hardly a month after the death of Rukiga County MP Samuel Byanagwa, who passed away in January.
His brother, Brown Chekechan, said the body will be taken to Arua Hospital for a postmortem examination.
