Rishi Sunak has promoted trade minister Greg Hands to be the new party chairman to replace Nadhim Zahawi who was forced to resign over his tax affairs. <\/p>\n
The Hammersmith and Fulham MP is seen as a safe pair of hands by colleagues and has long experience of organising election campaigns in London.<\/p>\n
With the clock ticking for an election next year Mr Hands will have the task of getting the Tory campaign machine together to be fighting fit as the party tries to overcome a 21 point lead for Labour in the polls.<\/p>\n
