Brothers and Sisters,
The people have expressed their opinion on yesterday's opinion. The announcement this morning of its results comes to assert that, with constitutional amendments that derive their legitimacy from the free will of citizens, we are embarking on a new phase.

These amendments opens the door to further enhancements of our legislative framework, thereby reinforcing the ongoing process of political, economic and social reform and realizing the objectives of constitutional reform.

In spite of the fact that these amendments represent a leap in kind towards enhancing our democracy, I do reiterate that democracy will not be realized through constitutional and legislative texts alone, but also through increasingly expanding space of active participation, and disseminating the culture and promoting the practice of democracy.

Fellow Citizens,
The people's say on this referendum indeed expresses their adherence to the better future we are seeking and their insistence to pursue, with resolve and confidence our march forward through the coming phase.

The people are indeed the real winner of yesterday's referendum. While welcoming its results, I would say that the constitutional reform already achieved is not the end of it all. These constitutional amendments have opened the door to a long path of hard work requiring all compatriots to exert concerted efforts and to come to agreement on such goals that bring us together rather than divide us and push Egypt and its people forward.

Let us proceed hand in hand in close ranks, up hoisting the banner of a robust and secure Egypt, completing the structure of our democracy and building together the aspired-for future.
We pray Allah to guide us to the welfare of our country and its people.
