Muscles are told to fire by the electrical impulse that comes from the body’s own nervous system.

The electricity coming from the electrocution source is more powerful than the body that any impulse to open is not received.

The hand in particular has a design which favors the closing motion and not the motion to open. Both sets of muscles are stimulated at the same time by the electrocution source but the closing muscles hold the object in the hand.
