Cairo - After days of confusion and uncertainty, Farouk Sultan, the head of the Supreme Presidential Election Commission, announced Sunday that Brotherhood's candidate Mohammed Morsi wins the presidential election, an announcement that make a break with six decades of military rule or remain confined in the parameters of the former regime. Tensions have risen since the June 16-17 runoff vote between the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Mohammed Morsi and Mubarak's last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq, with both campaigns claiming victory by a narrow margin. The electoral commission postponed official results that had been scheduled to be announced on Thursday, leading to speculation that the military rulers are holding results hostage to bargaining and backroom deals with the Brotherhood on the distribution of power. Many Egyptians have rallied behind Morsi as a chance to finally rid the country of the old regime.
