I am not sure there is any such expression in English. The expression is "to throw one's hat in the ring." This is an idiom that comes from the sport of boxing and goes back to the mid-1800s, when a person who wanted to challenge the champion would throw a hat into the boxing ring to signify the desire for a match. It became a political idiom, referring to a new candidate letting the public know that he (and later, she) was going to start a campaign for office and try to defeat the incumbent. The inauguration, however, is when the person who was elected is officially sworn in. Thus, your expression would not make sense, because throwing your hat in the ring means you have not yet been elected and are offering a challenge to the incumbent.
