Country Vicepresident
The Country Vicepresident is an official position belonging to the presidential candidate defeated in a presidential election, who will asssume the presidency in case the incumbent one is impeached.
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 is approved 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)
By the nature of the position, the country vicepresidents will be in the opposition to the Government. However, the Country President could make an arrangement with vicepresidents to obtain support from them. In such case, they can be appointed in a public office (e.g. as Ministers or Advisors). In fact, Vicepresidents are often a valuable advisors of the President during his/her office(s).
