Mohamed Morsi is the President of Egypt in 2013. Elected in the 2012 June presidential election following Mubarak's resignation, Morsi beat out Ahmed Shafik, in the presidential run-off election. Morsi officially became President of Egypt on 2012 June 30. Morsi resigned as leader of the Freedom and Justice Party after being elected, the FJP being an Islamic party with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. As Shafik was previously Mubarak's Prime Minister, the run-off election was cast as a battle between the old politicians and Muslims.

Morsi is Egypt's fifth president and first democratically elected President. His term will expire on 2016 June 30.

UPDATE -- Mohammed Morsi was deposed as Egypt's President by the Egyptian Armed Forces led by General Sisi on July 4, 2013. Chief Justice Adly Mansour is currently acting as interim President until new elections can be held in 2014.
