He also revealed that the exercise will continue on Tuesday, with candidates expected from Kyadondo East, Busiro North, Busiro East, and Busiro South constituencies.
Musinguzi urged all those set to be nominated to ensure they present all the required documentation, including academic papers, to avoid disqualification or delays.
