Ulya Aqamah Husamudin, who was the 60th registered member of Bersatu and held positions as a supreme council member and information chief of the Armada youth wing, declared his exit from the party. He also relinquished his roles at the national and Pokok Sena division levels. In his statement, Ulya Aqamah expressed hope that Bersatu would re-evaluate its foundational struggles and return to its original objectives.
Other Prominent Resignations

Datuk A. Kadir Jasin, a Bersatu supreme council member, announced his resignation on August 7, having submitted his letter of departure the previous day. Tariq Ismail Mustafa, also a supreme council member and an early party member (51st registered), resigned citing personal beliefs and a perceived departure from the party's initial aims of fighting corruption and abuse of power. Abu Bakar Yahya, Bersatu's 999th member, also announced his immediate resignation, stating his continued alignment with Dr Mahathir's political endeavours.

The resignations extend beyond the supreme council. Mohd Shaid Rosli, the Selangor Jeram assemblyman, quit Bersatu to join Dr Mahathir's new political entity. Additionally, the Klang Bersatu division chief, Datuk Syed Abdillah Syed Abd Aziz, resigned with his committee members, leading to the dissolution of 10 branches involving over 2,800 members. The Langkawi Bersatu division's committee members also submitted their resignations today, indicating a broader impact on the party's grassroots structure.
