Dr Mahamudu Bawumia spoke to African Watch Magazine about his presidential ambitions and vision for Ghana's future.
He noted that running for president was not only about seeking power or prestige but about making a positive difference in the lives of Ghanaians.
He said it is about solving the age-old problems that have plagued Ghana once and for all.
He told the magazine he was ready to lead with integrity, humility and vision to build a brighter future for Ghana.
Bawumia did not want to enter politics
Dr Bawumia revealed to the magazine that despite being from a political family, he did not want to enter politics.
He said this had informed his decision to become an economist, eventually landing him as a deputy governor at the Bank of Ghana.
He said he was surprised when then-candidate Akufo-Addo invited him to join his ticket for the presidency.
The vice president said he was very conflicted about what decision to take.
However, he was inspired by Akufo-Addo to strive to solve all the problems he had identified while working as Deputy Governor, which led to his acceptance of the offer.
He noted that Akufo-Addo also demonstrated great trust and belief in his problem-solving capabilities when he selected him as his running mate for four consecutive elections.
He said he has vindicated the president’s overwhelming trust in him by becoming the best vice president in Ghana’s history.
