Mr Vibert said he was "very happy" after being elected as Constable of St Peter, and welcomed the new voting option of "none of the above".
He said: "I'm very happy with the result, I've had a substantial majority, I'm pleased that there was the option of none of the above because it allowed people to vote for me or against me.
"It's a democratic process and not everybody will be happy with certain aspects, you cannot always keep everybody happy all the time."
"My priorities are to continue with my work in the parish... but also I would like to continue my work with children in education and I have already said I would put my name forward for minister of children and education," Mr Vibert said.
The newly elected constable said he would support Kristina Moore for Chief Minister if she was elected into the government.
"She has all the qualities necessary," he said.
It has been called as there was less than 1% difference between two candidates.
There are seven candidates standing for the four seats available in St Clement.
Sam Mezec, Beatriz Poree and Tom Coles of the Reform Jersey party have been elected as Deputies of St Helier South along with independent David Warr.
We have had eight constable election results so far.
Three contested elections - won by Mark Labey in Grouville, Deidre Mezbourian in St Lawrence and David Johnson in St Mary.
Meanwhile Andy Jehan in St John, Karen Shenton-Stone in St Martin, Richard Honeycombe in St Ouen, Richard Vibert in St Peter and Philip Le Sueur in Trinity were voted in ahead of the "none of the above" option.
Jurat Collette Crill, returning officer of St Helier South, said the polls were "busier this year than we've known it".
She said the town hall was "hectic but had a great atmosphere" and that "diverse groups of people" were seen turning out to vote.
Ms Crill said volunteers were "jaded" after a long day but "excited" for the results ahead.

Reform party leader Sam Mezec admitted he was nervous waiting for the results of his party members.
The party has put forward 14 candidates across seven constituencies.
He said: "Everyone's very nervous, we haven't had any of our results through yet, we've got some fantastic candidates who've stood for us and we're wishing them all the very best, we're sat at the edge of our seats."
Mr Mezec said the party had a "huge opportunity" to change up the government.
"We have a huge opportunity now with a new voting system and emerging party politics that people's votes actually matters more now than it has previously and will have more influence on what type of government we get as a result of this, so I'm very hopeful."
Richard Vibert has been elected as the Constable of St Peter.
He received 1,150 votes compared to 278 for "none of the above".
There was a 42% turnout with 1,435 parishioners attending to vote.
A total of seven ballots were invalid.
Richard Vibert has been voted in as the Constable of St Peter.
The newly-elected constable of Trinity has said he is "slightly disappointed" with the 295 votes cast against him.
Mr Le Sueur, a member of Jersey Alliance, said he felt these votes may have been a result of him "nailing his colours to the mast" and supporting a party. He was the only constable candidate to do so.
Political reporter Freddie Miller has suggested this might be an indication of the power of the parties in this election, or at least a mark of politicians' perception of them.

Turnout is traditionally low in Jersey, and we already know fewer people were registered to vote today (60,701) than at the last election in 2018 (62,123).
It’s estimated that 25% of islanders eligible to vote today didn’t even register to do so – let alone turn up to a polling station.
For those hoping for a better turnout than usual, it’s not a great start.
Only once we have all the results will we get a true picture of how many islanders have voted today.
But as ever, the number of people who turn out to vote – and perhaps most importantly, who they are – will play a significant role in determining the make-up of Jersey’s next States Assembly.
Reform Jersey, in particular, has been hoping to encourage people who don’t normally take part in Jersey elections to do so, believing many of these islanders will support them.
Put simply, if the same people as ever turn out to vote, the same type of politicians, it’s thought, are likely to be elected.
But if new voters have their say, it is believed, we might end up with an Assembly which looks fairly different to those we have seen in the past.
There are a number of factors which make turnout difficult to call this time around.
One is the change in the voting system.
The scrapping of the role of senator – with its island-wide mandate - appears to have gone down badly with pretty much everyone, and many islanders have told me that for the first time ever, they will not be voting, as they feel their democratic rights have been eroded.
The introduction of nine voting districts of broadly similar population size was aimed at boosting turnout.
It may prove to have the opposite effect.
Another factor which makes turnout difficult to predict is the Covid pandemic.
At various points over the past two years, islanders have been incredibly engaged with Jersey politics – thousands and thousands of people would tune in to government press conferences, while the States vote on re-opening the island’s borders seemed to truly capture the interest of the public.
Will that interest and engagement result in a better than usual turnout?
