‎“The will of the people has now been manifested through the election of Egypt’s ‎Islamist (candidate), who, thanks to the Islamic Awakening, has come to power ‎through the vote of the people for the first time. And, we, the representatives ‎in the Majlis, congratulate the Egyptian nation on this victory,” part of the ‎statement read. ‎

The MPs also wrote, “It is hoped that Mohammed Morsi, the country’s new ‎president, will help accomplish the purposes of Egyptian revolutionaries and ‎freethinkers through reliance on God and the Muslim people of Egypt and that the ‎country will once again gain its great status and (assume) its significant role ‎in the Muslim world, particularly in supporting Palestine.” ‎
