ANO, registered as ANO 2011, is a right-wing populist political party in the Czech Republic led by the businessman and prime minister Andrej Babiš. Formed in 2011, it finished second in the first elections it contested in 2013 and entered government as a junior partner to the Czech Social Democratic Party. After large gains in the 2017 election the two parties switched places, with Babiš becoming prime minister in an ANO-led government with external support from the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia. ANO was narrowly defeated in the 2021 election by the Spolu coalition and went into opposition for the first time; it began as an anti-corruption vehicle.
