Egypt's Mohamed Mursi said on Sunday he will be a leader "for all Egyptians" and called for national unity.
  
"I will be a president for all Egyptians," Mursi said just hours after he was declared president following a deeply divisive race against Ahmed Shafiq, the last premier to serve under ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
  
"I call on you, great people of Egypt ... to strengthen our national unity," he said, adding that national unity "is the only way out of these difficult times."
  
Mursi won 51.73 percent of the vote, with 13,230,131 ballots. Egypt's news agency MENA said Shafiq offered his congratulations to the elected president.
 
  
Mursi, who resigned from the Muslim Brotherhood to take the top job, thanked the "martyrs" of the uprising for the victory and stressed "the revolution continues."
 
 The 60-year-old engineer also vowed to honour international treaties. "We will preserve all international treaties and charters ... we come in peace," Mursi said.
