No, Not Again (Devanagari: नो, नट अगेन) is a campaign on social media against the elderly established political leaders amid 2022 general election and provincial elections in Nepal.[1][2] The campaign is primarily targeted to the prime ministers and the ministers, both incumbent and former.[3][4]

The election commission of Nepal issued a statement against the social media pages running the campaign on 25 October 2022,[5][6] in response to the complain by minister Pampha Bhusal.[7][8] The writs against the election commission were registered in the Supreme Court.[9][10]
