Egypt’s president-elect Mohamed Morsi is set to deliver a speech to the nation from Cairo’s iconic Liberation Square, a day before his oath as president.

Morsi will address Egyptians on Friday about his plans for “the rebirth of Egypt” from the home of the revolution.

The newly elected president will take part in a million-man march at the iconic square on what is called “the Day of the Transfer of Power.”

The presidency announced late on Thursday that Morsi would be sworn in as president at 11 A.M. (0900 GMT) on Saturday before the Constitutional Court.

The Egyptian president began working on the formation of his government shortly after he moved to his new office in the presidential palace in Cairo on Monday.

On June 24, after days of delay, the Supreme Presidential Electoral Commission announced Morsi as the winner of the county’s presidential runoff. Morsi picked up 13.2 million votes out of just over 26 million.

This comes as protests have been going on since the junta dissolved the parliament dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest political party, earlier this month. It also took control of the state budget and gave itself veto power on a new constitution, making the new president almost powerless through a recent constitutional declaration.
