Stephen TilleyThe Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi has been declared the winner of Egypt's presidential election run-off.
He won 51.73% of the vote, beating former PM Ahmed Shafiq, the Higher Presidential Election Commission said.
The head of the panel of judges, Farouq Sultan, said it had upheld some of the 466 complaints by the candidates, but that the election result still stood.

Preliminary results from Egypt's presidential election show Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi and former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq have won the top two spots and advanced to next month's runoff.
Results compiled Friday from all of Egypt's 27 provinces show the two in a very tight race, with Morsi in the lead with 25 percent of the votes.
The results have Shafiq, who served as ousted President Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister, close behind with 24 percent.
That sets the stage for a deeply divisive runoff vote June 16-17 for Egypt's presidency.
