The deployment of new technology in managing Kenya elections helped improve transparency, the Carter Centre says.

In its preliminary report from its expert mission to Kenya’s August 9 presidential election, the centre says that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) made good strides in making sure that the country's polls were transparent and accountable.
