Indonesian court to rule on Prabowo's election challenge

JAKARTA: An Indonesian court will Thursday rule on ex-general Prabowo Subianto's bid to overturn the results of last month's presidential election, with a panel of judges expected to reject his claims that widespread cheating cost him victory.

Tens of thousands of police and soldiers will be on duty at the Constitutional Court in Jakarta and around the capital for the ruling on Prabowo's challenge to his loss to Joko Widodo in the closely fought election.
