Please go and re-read the history of Khulafa-e-Rashideen. First they all were selected by differnt methods, often after a lot of disputes. Caliph Umar(Raziallahu Anhu) was chosen by Caliph Abubakar(RZA). After his death, the selection of caliph Usman(RZA) was not agreed upon by Caliph Ali(RZA). And we know all the history after the death of Caliph Usman(RZA).
Anyhow, you are right in case of Zia.
