Mr Mursi has struggled to overcome accusations that the Brotherhood wants to monopolise the political scene.
The group decided to field a candidate for the presidency despite earlier promising it would not. It was also criticised for using its parliamentary strength to try to dominate a 100-member assembly drawing up the new constitution.
Mr Mursi argues that the Brotherhood has had to respond to changing realities and "dangers threatening the revolution".
After protests over the results of the presidential election first round and an attack on Mr Shafiq's campaign headquarters, Mr Mursi tried to swing the situation to his advantage.
He offered concessions to groups that felt disenfranchised and presented himself as a bulwark against any revival by the Mubarak old guard.
