Supporters of Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi celebrate in Cairo's Tahrir square
Several thousand Egyptians took to Tahrir Square on Tuesday to protest against the ruling military's bid to grab new powers, as both presidential candidates claimed victory in a historic vote.

In the hub of the uprising that ousted president Hosni Mubarak, protesters chanted against his military successors, with many more expected to join them as the temperature drops.

The demonstration comes against a backdrop of uncertainty over the winner of the presidential vote, with the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi and his rival former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq both claiming victory.
