ISLAMABAD - A chief of former Pakistan's ruling party on Wednesday proposed that Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari be the presidential candidate.

Altaf Hussain, leader of the ethnic Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), told private Geo TV that Zardari was the right person for the presidential slot.

The ruling coalition, including the PPP and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has remained divided over the presidential candidacy after former President Pervez Musharraf announced his resignation on Monday.

Under the constitution, the election of the president could be held within thirty days after Musharraf left his office.

Former ruling party MQM was defeated in the February 18 elections and sat on the opposition bench.
