Chairman of shareholders meeting

My query is regarding Chairman of Shareholders meeting of Pvt Co.

As per rules only a shareholder can be chairman of General Meeting. My doubt is can a person who is a joint holder of shares and his name is second in the member's register be the Chairman?

The person's whose anme appears first has various rights of a shareholder while the second person does not but there is no specification for this right. 

Thanks for the help in advance.
