Alex Salmond, the former Scottish first minister, has announced he will stand as an MP at next May's General Election.
The ex-SNP leader will join the contest for the seat in the UK parliamentary constituency of Gordon.
The seat is currently held by Sir Malcolm Bruce, the long-serving Liberal Democrat MP who is retiring in May 2015.
Mr Salmond resigned as SNP leader and First Minister last month, having signalled his intention to do so just hours after the Yes campaign lost the independence referendum, and speculation over his political future has continued ever since.
Mr Salmond, who was previously an MP for Banff and Buchan between 1987 and 2010, set out his plans in a speech in Ellon, Aberdeenshire.
Mr Salmond told those gathered that he does not expect there to be an overall majority at the next election and that as a result, Scotland could emerge in a "commanding position".
"In the weeks since the referendum the people of Scotland have refused to give up on the hope of a better Scotland," he said.
