Names being touted include the former chairman Brandon Lewis, the immigration minister Robert Jenrick and the former co-chair Andrew Stephenson.
Others say perhaps an MP from a recently secured seat from Labour in the so-called 'red wall' and/or a marginal seat for the perspective that brings with an election around the corner.
