The Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party of Lebanon (Arabic: حزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي في لبنان Hizb Al-Ba'ath Al-Arabi Al-Ishtiraki fi Lubnan) is the regional branch of the Damascus-based Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party in Lebanon. Fayez Shukr has been party leader since 2005 when he succeeded Sayf al-Din Ghazi who in turn succeeded Assem Qanso.
The Lebanese branch of the undivided Ba'ath Party had been formed in 1949–1950.[1] Assem Qanso is the longest-serving secretary (leader) of the Lebanese Ba'ath Party; first from 1971 to 1989 and again from 2000 to 2005.[2] During the Lebanese Civil War, the party had an armed militia, the Assad Battalion.[3] The party joined forces with Kamal Jumblatt's Progressive Socialist Party in organizing the Lebanese National Movement, seeking to abolish the confessional state.[4] The Lebanese National Movement was later superseded by the Lebanese National Front, in which the party participated.[5] The party organized resistance against Israeli forces in Lebanon.[5] In July 1987 it took part in forming yet another front, the Unification and Liberation Front.[6]
In the 2009 parliamentary election, the party won two seats as part of the March 8 Alliance. The parliamentarians of the party are Assem Qanso and Qassem Hashem.[7]
