Controversies
editMs Adupo Florence a former Kapelebyong Woman member of parliament for Kapelebyong District candidate on the Forum for Democratic Change who lost to Atuto, claimed that her votes in the 2021 elections were handed to her rivals who included Atuto,[3] a matter Adupo took to the Soroti Chief Magistrates Court wanting the votes to be re-counted but her vote recount applications were dismissed by Chief Magistrate Monica Amono as they lacked substantial evidence to warrant a vote recount.[5][6]
