Cairo, Sha'ban 10, 1433, Jun 30, 2012, SPA - Egyptian president-elect Mohammed Morsi is set to be sworn in Saturday as the country's first freely elected civilian president, a day after he took a symbolic oath in front of thousands in iconic Tahrir Square, according to a report of DPA. Morsi will take his official oath before the country's highest court, the Supreme Constitutional Court, rather than the parliament, as has been past practice with Egyptian presidents. Tight security was seen around the court in southern Cairo, as preparations were underway for Morsi's inauguration ceremony. Morsi, is also expected to address political figures in Cairo University afterwards. --SPA 12:11 LOCAL TIME 09:11 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1012003
