Alengot-Oromait
Proscovia Alengot Oromait was born on January 1, 1993, in Kutakwi, Uganda. She completed high school at St Kalemba Senior Secondary School in Kayunja District in December 2011, gained admission into Ugandan Christian University in Mukono in August 2012, and was sworn into parliament on September 2012. Alengot Oromait was a student of the Uganda Christian University while serving as an MP, and had to juggle between school programs and parliamentary business, combining both effectively. Alengot is a social justice worker advocating for issues around the environment, education, health policy, youth, and gender.
Alengot Oromait became a member of parliament at age 19, making history as the youngest person ever to become an MP in Africa. She was elected an MP in 2012 following the death of her father, Michael Oromait, who served as the MP for Usuk County in the Katakwi District of Uganda. She contested the National Resistance Movement primary election to replace her father, who served as an independent politician. Her victory at the primary pitched her against candidates from other parties in the general elections in September 2012. Her landslide victory at the general election made her the Usuk County MP in the Katakwi district and was sworn in on September 21, 2021.
