Biography
Born in Aden's Crater district in 1934, he studied business in Cairo University in Egypt, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1963. Upon returning to Aden, he worked as a high school teacher in Khormaksar District in Aden, before becoming involved in local politics.

A Ba'athist, Yahya was the leader of the Vanguard Party, which in 1975 merged to create the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP). During the South Yemen Civil War in 1986, he aligned with Ali Nasir Muhammad's faction of the YSP, which was defeated.

In 2002, the Yemen Times reported that Yahya would be permitted to return to Yemen from his exile in the United Arab Emirates, as part of an amnesty of YSP leaders convicted after the 1994 civil war.

As of 2022, Yahya was living in Egypt.
