The Vice President of Panama is the second-highest political position in the Government of Panama. Since 2009, the position of Vice President has been held by only one person.[1] Previously, there were positions of First Vice President and Second Vice President, also known as First Designate to Presidency (Primer Designado a la Presidencia) and Second Designate (Segundo Designado a la Presidencia). According to the current constitution, Vice Presidents are elected in the same ticket as the President. However, the position of Second Vice President has been abolished since 2009.
