The People's Vanguard Party (Arabic: حزب الطليعة الشعبية), also referred to as al-Tali'a, was a Ba'athist political party in Yemen.[1][2] The party was established in the late 1950s.[3] It was the Yemeni branch of the Baath Party. When the Baath Party was divided between Syrian and Iraqi factions, the Yemeni branch overwhelmingly sided with the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party.[4][3][5] After the split, the Syrian-aligned Ba'athists 'Yemenized' their party and took the name People's Vanguard Party.[4]
The members of the party were largely recruited from teachers, students, and intellectuals.[3] The party was based in Aden, and had limited presence outside the city.[3] It had some presence in Hadhramaut for a brief period.[3] The party was banned in North Yemen, where it was part of the National Democratic Front and took part in the NDF Rebellion.[4]
The party was one of two non-National Front (NF) parties tolerated during the early 1970s. In October 1975 it joined the NF-dominated United Political Organization of the National Front[6] (which evolved into the Yemeni Socialist Party in 1978).[1] The merger was ratified by the third PVP congress held in August 1975.[7]
