The stock market reopened Wednesday after the General Election holiday with a gain of Sh31.8 billion as preliminary results showed a tight race between opposition leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto.
Twenty-four of the 63 listed stocks recorded gains on Wednesday while seven counters shed value as local investors continued to snap low-priced shares.
