The Chandan Socialist Birlik Front (Chandan: 𑐀𑐬‎𑐎𑐶𑐣𑐵𑐮𑐶 𑐲𑐵𑐩𑐵𑐖‎𑐮𑐶𑐎 𑐧𑐶𑐬‎𑐮𑐶𑐎 𑐴𑑁𑐮𑐮𑑀𑐴, Arkinali Samajlik Birlik Holboh), commonly known as the ASBH, was a political alliance of political parties in Chanda that supported the Birlikist ideology and its related sub-ideologies.

The Front was officially founded during the Chandan National Revolution in order to provide a movement for the proponents of Birlikist principles. The Declaration of the Republic, Chanda's founding constitution, states that the country shall "stay true to the principles of Birlikism as written by the Founders through the governance of a united front", thereby constitutionalizing Birlikism as the national ideology. Since the founding of the Republic, the role of a "united front" has been filled by the Front. From the founding of the country in 1951 to the 1970s, the Front had near absolute power over the government as a unified political party.

However beginning in the 1970s, power began to fall from the leadership to its party members who were becoming increasingly independent and ideologically diverse. As a result, the growing power of the party members led to the diversification of the Front into various political factions and informal political organizations. However the parties of the Front had to accept the "guiding role" of Birlikism in order to be a member. The political reformation in the 1990s, and the subsequent political crisis led to its complete dissolution after the 1995 election. It fractured into various political parties, and is the common ancestor of many major political parties in Chanda today.
