  • 'Which' is used to ask for the identification of a particular person or a particular thing in a group.
  • 'Who' is the subject of a verb (i.e. the one doing the action).
  • Let's see some examples: 
    • Which is your favorite Simpsons episode?
    • Who’s there?

Troika: a group of three people working together, especially in an administrative or managerial capacity

The correct sentence is: 'Speculation is rife about which minister deserves a promotion to make up the missing third in the troika of Deputy Prime Ministers.'
