i think kingsley would have remained minister for quite some time, probably even while harry and ron were parents, and they most likely worked as aurors, as dumbeldore lived for 130+ years, i do believe kingsley's abilities enable him to live up until this same memorable age. he remained a great great wizard for the whole duration of the books!
the only person i would like to see take over would be teddy lupin if he took in his mother and fathers footsteps of being great wizards - especially in the dark arts (which usually meant they were quite bright and intuitive!)

It was mentioned, or implied, I think, in one of JK's interviews that Kingsley is Minister, and not just the temporary one from DH itself. Of course, we have no way of knowing how long he will stay as Minister, but I think its' safe to say that during the epilogue of DH he is still the Minister.
On another note, I would be intrested in becoming Minister, however the idea of following in my fathers footsteps and teaching DADA has also appealed to me. (But in case, since you never know: Vote for me, Teddy Lupin!)
