Ghana’s Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia said he was ready to lead the nation in a campaign launch speech, pledging to revive the battered economy, fight graft, and boost the private sector if elected president in December.

The 60-year-old economist was overwhelmingly voted presidential candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party in November, teeing up a contest with former President John Mahama.

The former central banker said he was ready to be “in the driver’s seat” in a speech to crowds of supporters at the University of Professional Studies in Accra.

“I want to build a Ghana where we leverage technology, data and systems for inclusive economic growth,” Bawumia told.

“To sustainably reduce the budget deficit and interest rates, my government will enhance fiscal discipline,” he said, promising to implement a rule to keep national spending closer in line with revenue.
