FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Morsi moved into his new office in the presidential palace in Cairo on Monday while his supporters kept up their sit-in protest at Tahrir Square to pressure the ruling generals of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to hand over full powers to him, AFP reported.
SCAF took power in February 2011 after the Egyptians launched a revolution against the pro-Israeli regime in January, which eventually brought an end to the 30-year dictatorship of former President Hosni Mubarak.
One of Morsi’s campaign spokespersons said, “He has already started with a list of names he is considering. He says he will declare the cabinet soon.”
Morsi, who quit the Muslim Brotherhood to become the president, is likely to include ministers who will have the support of the Brotherhood’s election allies.
On Sunday, after days of delay, the Supreme Presidential Electoral Commission announced Morsi as the winner of the county’s presidential runoff.
Morsi picked up 13.2 million votes out of just over 26 million, giving him 51.7 percent of the vote.
His competitor, Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, received 12.3 million votes or 48.3 percent.
Tens of thousands of Egyptians gathered in Cairo and across the country to celebrate Morsi’s victory, chanting slogans like “God is greatest” and “Down with military rule.”
