The independent candidate said the administration is just one of the engines of growth, along with market, democracy, science, and religion.
Rezaei, who is currently secretary of the Expediency Council, added that he is planning to form shadow ministries, think tanks and economic states within the framework of a federal economic model.
He also said he would allow local communities and councils to run their own businesses and governments.
Rezaei is competing against Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf, President of the Center for Strategic Research of the Expediency Council Hassan Rohani, lawmaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili, former Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Velayati, former First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Aref, and former Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Gharazi.
