ISLAMABAD, Aug 12: Pakistan Muslim League-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Tuesday that the future presidential candidate would be from a smaller province and his party was already working to find a suitable candidate.

Talking to reporters outside the parliament house, he said former chief justice Saeeduz Zaman Siddiqui, Asfandyar Wali Khan and veteran Baloch leader Sardar Ataullah Mengal were respected figures and one of them could be considered for the post.

The PML-N leader denied rumours about a compromise on the issue of impeachment.
