It follows farcical scenes where the official Conservative Party Twitter account accidentally announced the wrong person by saying Transport Secretary Chris Grayling would be the new chairman.
Others such as James Cleverly and Tom Tugendhat could fare well, although they may have to wait until junior minister appointments are revealed, which is expected tomorrow.
It was Theresa May's first major reshuffle since taking office in 2016.
The prime minister Theresa May leaves Downing Street on 6 December. The move has made it more hard for observers to work out who may be in line for dismissal or a new job.
