The People's Vanguard Party (PVP) was a Ba'athist political party in South Yemen. It was aligned with the Syrian-based Ba'ath Party. Abdullah Badhib was the general secretary of the party. Badhib was appointed Minister of Education in December 1969. 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 (which evolved into the Yemeni Socialist Party in 1978). The merger was ratified by the third PVP congress held in August 1975.
