Vice President Alicia Pucheta, 68, will complete Cartes's mandate after he resigned to become a senator.
On August 15, fellow conservative Mario Abdo Benitez, elected in April 22 polls, will begin his five-year term as president of one of Latin America's poorest countries.
The parliament is due to confirm Cartes's resignation and proclaim Pucheta as interim president on Wednesday.
