Uganda will have to nominate another lawmaker to replace the fallen Mathias Kasamba at the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).
Officials of the Regional Assembly in Arusha could not confirm this but regulations require the void to be filled upon the death of a member.
Kasamba, 57, died at a Kampala hospital on Tuesday where he was admitted for three days after reportedly collapsing in his home.

A good-humoured man, an influencer, an eloquent mobiliser, and an accomplished agriculturist, are some of the attributes to describe the late Mathias Kasamba.
The deceased was one of Uganda’s representatives to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA ) and former Kakuuto Constituency legislator.
Kasamba, 58, died at Nakasero Hospital, Kampala, on Tuesday evening.
The MPs said Kasamba was vocal on the dismal performance of the agriculture sector in the East African region and pushed for creation of a new body to oversee the sector development.
In a tweet, EALA Speaker Martin Ngoga says the late Kasamba was one of the active legislators in the House and contributed enormously to the debates.
The outspoken lawmaker was until last week seen in the screens of the plenary sessions of EALA now held virtually due to Covid-19 outbreak.
The late Kasamba was elected into the Fourth EALA (2017-2022) in December 2017 and was to end his first term late 2022.
