After election annulment, opposition leader says entire commission is "rotten"

After election annulment, opposition leader says entire commission is "rotten".

After the Supreme Court declared the results of last month's presidential election null and void, the opposition leader said it was clear the entire commission was "rotten". Meanwhile Kenya's President said he disagreed with the ruling, but would abide by it. Also: the largest asteroid in more than a century is set to safely pass by Earth, and a multi-million dollar gift for Cologne Zoo.
