Ejaz Chaudhry, former opposition leader in the Punjab Assembly, is in the race  for his  loyalty and services for the party.

The sources said Jahangir Khan Tareen wants Ishaq Khakwani to occupy the slot of governor in the country's largest province.

 Rai Azizullah, the sources said, is also favorite candidate as he is considered a confidant of PTI chairman Imran Khan.
