Nasser establishes the Arab Socialist Union as Egypt's sole party

Via the National Charter of May 1962, Gamal Abdel Nasser created the Arab Socialist Union (ASU) as Egypt's single legal party and vehicle of "Arab socialism," replacing the National Union. It mobilized workers, peasants, intellectuals and the military (with half of leadership seats reserved for workers and farmers) and spawned a secret "Vanguard Organization" in 1963.
