Mohammed Morsi was announced the winner of Egypt's first democratic election on Sunday.

Thousands of Egyptian protesters gathered in Tahrir Square to hear the commissioner announce their new president.

Mohammed Morsi won with over 50% of votes in the run-off election.

The crowd jumped for joy, shed tears, and shared hugs as Morsi became the fist Islamist to lead an Arab state.

"In my dreams, I wanted this to happen, but it is unbelievable,"said 20 year old Hudaida Hasan.

The presidential elect promised to be "a president for all Egyptians" in a state wide broadcast on Sunday.

"We as Egyptians, Muslims, and Christians, are preachers of civilization and building; so we are, and so we will remain God willing." he said. "We will face together the strife and conspiracies that target our national unity."

He continued, "We are all equal in rights, and we all have duties toward this homeland," he added. "But for me, I have no rights, I only have duties."

Morsi moved into the presidential office on Monday.

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.
