CARACAS, Venezuela — Evo Morales, the former Bolivian president who fled his country in November amid violent protests over his bid to stay in power, will attempt to run for the Senate in the country’s upcoming elections.

The announcement is only the most recent sign that Mr. Morales intends to play an active role in Bolivian politics, despite living in exile in Argentina and facing an arrest warrant issued by Bolivia’s interim government.

Mr. Morales’ plans were made public on Monday when his party registered his candidacy with the country’s electoral tribunal. Mr. Morales congratulated his party on Twitter for choosing “the best men and women for the next legislature.”

His plan to run is likely to heighten tensions ahead of Bolivia’s election on May 3, in which the country will choose its next president.
