Allies of Boris Johnson have already touted him as a potential successor to Nadhim Zahawi, but there are others who are calling for someone who can create a 'positive headline' to turn around the party's fortunes in the polls
The senior Tory MP and close ally of the former PM told GB News on Sunday:"He is charismatic, he rallies the troops. He's a sort of fully-loaded Conservative. So I think that type of personality would be a very good one for a party chairman."
"He knows how important it is to engage with minority ethnic groups and he also understands London which is a key electoral battleground."Justin Tomlinson is the Conservative MP for North Swindon, and has been an MP continuously since 6 May 2010.

Mr Goodman said:"The first is too senior, the second too ambitious, the third associated with Liz Truss and the fourth difficult though not impossible to move, given her pivotal role at education. Such an appointment would undoubtedly create a splash.
He told Times Radio:"When you look back at Rishi Sunak's cabinet when he put it together, I felt Penny didn't really get a role big enough to suit her talents, so this would give her a front and centre role in the run-up to the election."A popular figure on the right of the party and well-liked among the Tory grassroots, Priti Patel is among the high-profile names tipped to replace Mr Zahawi.
