Mwanamke mwenye umri wa miaka 28, Rose Ajiko, amefariki dunia baada ya kukanyagwa katika msongamano wa watu wakati wa kugombea fulana za NRM wilayani Soroti. Tukio hilo lilitokea Jumamosi Januari 10, 2026, katika mkutano wa kampeni wa Mbunge wa Kaunti ya Soroti, Patrick Aeku, uliofanyika Shule ya Msingi Aminit.
Ajiko, mama wa watoto wanne, alikuwa miongoni mwa wafuasi waliokusanywa kutoka Kamuda kuhudhuria mkutano huo. Aliporomoka chini na kukanyagwa na umati wa watu waliokuwa wakijaribu kupata fulana zenye picha ya Rais Yoweri Museveni. Alifariki njiani kuelekea Hospitali ya Rufaa ya Mkoa wa Soroti.
Viongozi wa eneo hilo wameeleza masikitiko yao na kuitaka NRM kurekebisha utaratibu wa ugawaji wa fulana ili kuepusha matukio kama hayo. Polisi wamesema uchunguzi unaendelea na waandaaji wa mkutano wameitwa kutoa maelezo. Mbunge Patrick Aeku ameahidi kushirikiana na familia katika maandalizi ya mazishi ya marehemu.

A 28-year-old woman, Rose Ajiko, has died in a stampede in Soroti District while struggling for President Museveni's/NRM T-shirts delivered by the Soroti County MP, Patrick Aeku.
Ajiko, a mother of four, was among hundreds of NRM supporters who had been ferried from villages in Kamuda to attend the campaign rally for Aeku at Aminit primary school. The incident happened on Saturday, January 10, 2026.
"It is here that suddenly, the crowd of NRM supporters who were struggling to pick the NRM t-shirts trampled onto her after she had fallen down. By the time we managed to pick her from the crowd, she was struggling for her life. Shortly on her way to Soroti regional referral hospital, she was pronounced dead," said Sarah Aibo, Ajiko's sister-in-law.
