"Please disregard this, it's fake," the party posted on social media.
According to the list circulating, in Kampala Central, David Lewis Rubongoya scored 38 in vetting and 35 on the ground.

The fake list
Those behind the list had handed losses to Shamim Malende, the current Kampala Woman MP, Chairman Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu who is facing Ssemboga in Kawempe South, Allan Aloysius Ssewanyana, the incumbent Makindye West MP, and former NBS journalist and singer Robert Sekidde, alias Tuff B, who is challenging Nyeko Derrick in Makindye East.
It is not yet clear when NUP will announce its flag bearers.
