Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's new Islamist president-elect, received a delegation on Tuesday from Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church, including acting pope Anba Bakhomious.

Ahmed Deif, a policy advisor to Egypt’s president-elect Mohamed Morsi, stressed that Morsi will be a leader for all Egyptians and will appoint Coptic Christian and female vice-presidents.

Yasser Aly, the acting media spokesperson for President-elect Mohamed Morsy, said it has not yet determined when or where Morsy will take the oath.

A member of the Jama’a al-Islamiya Shura Council has warned against the Muslim Brotherhood “swallowing” the Egyptian state after the group’s candidate, Mohamed Morsy, won the presidential election with 51.7 percent of the vote.

After a major demonstration in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Tuesday attended by tens of thousands of protesters, several thousand members of the Muslim Brotherhood returned to the flashpoint square on Wednesday evening to pressure Egypt's ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to meet their demands.

Former Islamist presidential candidate Abdel-Moneim Abul-Fotouh said that Egypt's next president will fulfll a largely symbolic role and that this stripped presidency stands against Egypt's honour. He made his comments in a press conference held Monday in response to Mohamed Morsi's win.

President-elect Mohamed Morsy moved into the office once occupied by ousted leader Hosni Mubarak and started consultations Monday over the formation of his presidential team and a new government, an aide said.

Saad El-Husseini, a member of the executive bureau of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party confirmed on Sunday that president-elect Mohamed Mursi would take his oath of office before parliament and not before Egypt's High Constitutional Court (HCC). He added that the results of Egypt's presidential runoff had "served to confirm the popular desire for democracy and political change."

Amid wild celebrations on Sunday evening, leading Muslim Brotherhood member, Mohamed El-Beltagi, took the main podium in Tahrir Square to stress that Mohamed Mursi, Egypt's president-elect, must have the highest executive authorities without interference from the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF).

The Muslim Brotherhood's administrative offices sent the group's Guidance Bureau reports of nationwide discussions between its leaders and political, revolutionary and Islamist forces on Friday. The discussions surrounded the formation of a national alliance to confront the current political crises.

The Muslim Brotherhood has terminated Mohamed Morsy's membership in the group and the Freedom and Justice Party, following the announcement of his victory in the presidential election runoff.

Muslim Brotherhood's figure Mohamed Mursi will be addressing the Egyptian people Sunday evening in his first speech as president-elect, announced the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP).

The Salafi Nour Party called on its members to take part in a massive protest planned for Friday to denounce the supplementary Constitutional Declaration issued by the ruling military council last Sunday. The protest is also against the Supreme Constitutional Court’s recent ruling that dissolved Parliament.

Presidential candidate Mohamed Mursi met with several political forces on Thursday to discuss the current political situation.

Abul Ela Mady, the leader of the moderate Wasat Party, and former presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Abouel Fotouh are considering a political alliance along with other forces and parties.

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood will use peaceful methods to build a democratic political system despite "repression" by elements of the old regime, the Islamist group's deputy leader, Khairat El Shater, told French newspaper Le Figaro Thursday.

The Muslim Brotherhood, certain of an electoral victory, is getting ready to assume Egypt’s presidency for the first time in its 84-year-old history, but that might not be enough to prevent the powerful military establishment from becoming a power behind the throne.

Islamists in Egypt have grown divided over whether to attend the funeral of deposed President Hosni Mubarak, who is currently in critical condition, if he dies.

The Muslim Brotherhood has warned against a dangerous confrontation between the people and the army if presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq wins the presidency.

At 7 pm on Saturday, Muslim Brotherhood members gathered at the Freedom and Justice Party’s general secretariat in Alexandria to perform the sunset prayers following long hours monitoring the electoral process on the first day of the presidential runoff.
