Though Jean Mensa will not be mounting the witness box, she has not failed to mount the invisible red carpets of the Supreme Court, this time with witnesses she may be open to seconding.
And from the perspective of the fashion police, she did not take any prisoners as she cat-walked the corridors of the Apex court like it were runways of Milan.
The NDC’s ongoing 2020 election petition has got most Ghanaians interested in the proceedings.
Amidst the high stakes, one cannot fail to notice the fashionable attires worn by the EC boss at each hearing.
Since the proceedings began, the Apex Court has sat on 16 occasions.
Every adjournment presented an opportunity to switch the style up to the admiration of many who were interested in a little more than just legal arguments and objections.
It is believed that fashion is related historically to an individual’s disposition of who they are; it gives onlookers a general idea of what the person represents and what they can bring to the table.
Furthermore, it’s primary component, that is, clothes also helps in expressing the innermost thoughts, feelings and elevates mood swings according to the comfort the clothes gives.
Therefore, if the sensitive nature of the former IEA boss’ role in Ghana’s politics is anything to go by, it is only fair that she replicates that finesses in her sense of fashion.
Here are some of Jean Mensa’s memorable looks during the election petition thus far.

For the many in both government and opposition – the manner in which the Commission executed the 2020 polls may continue to be in contention.
However, one thing is certain. The Commissioner does not shoot to miss when it comes to style as she laid it bare as evidence before the over 30 million-member panel of Ghanaian judges watching the Supreme Court in the comfort of their homes.
If the petition hearing was a season on Tyra Bank’s TV show, Jean Mensa would still be in the running towards becoming America’s Next Top Model.
