Since 5 citizens proposed by their political parties can run for presidential elections, up to 4 citizens can be country vicepresidents, which will be ordered according their votation. (The defeated candidate with the best votation will be the First Vicepresident and, hence, he will assume the country presidency when a presidental impeachment passed in the Congress; the candidate with second best votation between the defeated ones will be Second Vicepresident and he'll assume the presidential office once the president and the first vicepresident are impeached; and so on)
