JAKARTA -- Indonesia's Constitutional Court on Monday rejected claims disputing Prabowo Subianto's victory in February's presidential election, saying it had not identified any problems in the voting.

The dismissal of the case, filed by Prabowo's rivals, will ease uncertainty in the world's third-largest democracy, with the politician -- currently serving as defense minister -- set to take the reins as president in October.
