People's Vanguard Party (South Yemen)

Political party in Yemen

The People's Vanguard Party was a Ba'athist political party in South Yemen.[1] It was aligned with the Syrian-based Ba'ath Party.[2] Abdullah Badhib was the general secretary of the party. Badhib was appointed Minister of Education in December 1969.[3] The party was one of two non-National Front parties tolerated during the early 1970s. In October 1975 it joined the NF-dominated United Political Organization (which evolved into the Yemeni Socialist Party in 1978).[1] The merger was ratified by the third PVP congress held in August 1975.[4]
