KINSHASA, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Congo's Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge filed by former rebel chief Jean-Pierre Bemba against results showing President Joseph Kabila had won last month's presidential election, witnesses in court said.

The court declared all eight of the complaints lodged by Bemba as "not founded", opening the way for Kabila to be formally confirmed the winner of the Oct. 29 run-off.
