The vice-president of the Republic of Mauritius (French: Vice-Président de la République de Maurice) is the second-highest office of the Republic of Mauritius, after the president. Because Mauritius is a parliamentary republic, the vice-president functions as a ceremonial figurehead, elected by the National Assembly, as set out by the Constitution of Mauritius.

Overview
In the event of the death, resignation or removal of the president, the vice-president becomes acting president. The vice-president nevertheless cannot succeed to the presidency in case of dismissal, resignation or death of the head of state but he can be nominated by the parliament to succeed to the president and if elected, the term will start for a full mandate of five years.[3]
