Intro
In 1956 (at the Jalsa in Rabwah), after kicking the sons of Noorudin out of Ahmadiyya, the 2nd Khalifa never led prayers or gave a public speech. Per Ahmadiyya sources, only Maulana Abdul Atara or Qazi Mohammad Nazir would lead the Friday sermon from 1957 to Nov. 1965. When the Khalifa finally died, Mirza Nasir Ahmad took over and gave all the official Friday sermons at Rabwah and around the world.
In November of 1965, the eldest grandson of MGA seems to have chaired the election of the 3rd Khalifa, his name was Mirza Aziz Ahmad. In 1965, it is said that he was a contender for the Khilafat. Akber Chaudhary and Abdul Sami Zafar (starts at the 39:36 mark to 44:14) have also given details of the life of Mirza Rafi Ahmad. Mirza Rafi Ahmad was older than Mirza Tahir Ahmad by about 18 months and younger than Mirza Nasir Ahmad by almost 20 years. Ataul Mujeeb Rashid was there too, his father (Maulana Abul Ata Jalandhari) was there too.
“The second thing which he told me was that Mirza Sharif Ahmed Sahib had differed with Khalifa tul Masih the Second’s proposed & appointed Electoral College for the election of the third Khalifa. Mirza Sharif Ahmed considered that the matter already existing i.e. the election through the elected representatives of the general momineen of Jama’at was more appropriate.”

Some commentary on this topic based on material presented at greenahmadiyyat.org website.
- Elections of Khalifa IV and V in 1982 & 2003, respectively, were done against the set rules established in 1956:

Over 40 years have passed since 1982 and the rules and regulations of 1956 have become completely irrelevant. Now that the Jamaat has spread out to many countries of the world, it is imperative that in the future, Jamaat members from different countries and regions be included via their representatives based on their numbers.
2. Narrated in biography of HMRA part I & II, page 10:
“Later on when I enquired from Hazrat Mirza Rafi Ahmed Sahib that while Hazrat Khalifatul Masih III had publicly announced that the rules formed in 1956 needed change and he will put up reformed rules before Majlis Mashawarat then why did he not do it? He told me that after the election had taken place it was disclosed to him that Hazrat Khalifatul Masih III had given written note to Anjuman that the rules formed in 1956 will be also the rules for the election of next Khalifa. This method of election is so much liked by Nizam that they want to continue with it in the future although there is hardly any consultation or participation of the general Momins.”

3. Except from biography HMRA part 4, from the year 1973
“The second thing which he told me was that Hadhrat Sahibzada Mirza Sharif Ahmed Sahib (ra) had differed with Hadhrat Khalifa tul Masih the Second’s proposed & appointed Electoral College for the election of the third Khalifa. Hadhrat Mirza Sharif Ahmed Sahib (ra) considered that the matter already existing i.e. the election through the elected representatives of the general momineen of Jama’at was more appropriate.”
