Mohamed Mursi Wins Egyptian Presidency.

Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom & Justice Party has won the Egyptian Presidential run off with 51.7% of the vote. The electoral commission excluded some 37,000 votes and upheld some of the 420 complaints. However at around 15:15 on 24/6/12 no further details have been announced and I am still not aware of the voter turnout so it is hard to assess what sort of mandate the new President has been given by the Egyptian people.

I will try and find out more later but rather unhelpfully my Blackberry's been deactivated.
