"Opposition runs away from parade....as nation marks 6th anniversary of 4th Republic" says the Democrat banner headline. The paper says when the story of Ghana's Fourth Republic comes to be written one notable feature that can never escape posterity will be the opposition's penchant for boycott of events whenever they can't have their way.
"They have on several occasions demonstrated this attitude in Parliament whenever they know voting on some crucial issues after a general debate would never go their way" says the paper.
Quoting a political commentator, the paper says "they (opposition) forget that politics is a game of numbers and the majority will always have their way even though the minority can always have their say".
