Wales and Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain is expected to confirm he wants to become Labour's deputy leader.
It is thought Mr Hain will set out his intentions later at a fringe meeting at the TUC conference in Brighton.
The Neath MP has undergone a political journey which has taken the former Young Liberal anti-apartheid campaigner into the Labour cabinet.
Last week he confirmed his support for Gordon Brown to succeed Tony Blair when he steps down as prime minister.
He is to expected to state openly what has long been hinted at - that he would like to take over as Labour's number two when John Prescott stands down.
Mr Prescott has said that he will go when Mr Blair stands down.
