National Progressive Front (Syria)
[7] The satellite parties within the NPF had smaller political power and largely functioned as networks for mobilizing loyalty to the government.[10] While NPF had little influence in central bodies such as the People's Assembly, it was given more say at the local level, where non-Ba'athists and independent candidates were fielded.The non-Ba'athist parties in the Progressive Front, for example, were not allowed to canvass for supporters in the army or the student body which were "reserved exclusively for the Ba'ath.After previously being a part of NPF, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party joined the opposition's Popular Front for Change and Liberation for the May 2012 parliamentary election.However, in the June 2014 presidential election, the SSNP supported the re-election of Bashar al-Assad and subsequently rejoined the front.
