re: poll

If the president were to die the chairperson of the parliament becomes the acting president until a new president is elected; the acting president will serve the rest of the term. The acting president is not given the authority to address the nation or parliament, dismiss the legislative branch, appoint candidates for parliamentary approval of government or judicial posts. The acting president cannot call for a referendum, grant military ranks, state orders or exercise their right of pardon. There are no constitutional provisions for presidential succession in case both the president and chairman's posts are vacant.

If the prime minister were to die the Deputy Prime minister would serve as acting PM until the president nominates a candidate for prime minister. Once the parliament confirms the nominee the new PM has the ability to form a new cabinet or not.
