Egypt to delay President announcement

Egypt's election commision announced that the presidential announcement scheduled for Thursday has been delayed due to claims of fraud.

Tensions in the country have been extremely high with both candidates claiming victory and rumors of Former President Hosni Mubarak's death.

A state run newspaper called it, "The most dangerous 48 hours in the history of Egypt."

Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi claims to have earned over 50% of the votes, providing photocopied election results online.

Former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq claimed vistory as well, but did not provide anything to back his claims.

Zakaria Abdel Aziz, a member of judges who followed the election, backs Morsi's claims.

"Our numbers were very close to the Brotherhood's campaign numbers because we all get them from the same source, the polling stations," he said. "There won't be major discrepancies unless the commission cancels votes."

No word on when the election commission plans to make the announcement.
