Egypt's presidency hailed on Thursday the "high turnout" in a constitutional referendum, billed by the military-installed government as an endorsement of the overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July.

The president's spokesman "remarked, on the high turnout in the referendum, that it was a beautiful day for Egypt and democracy," a statement said.

Official results for two days of voting that ended Wednesday have not yet been announced.
