Shabudin confirmed this development with Malaysiakini.
The six had signed a letter dated today addressed to Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa stating their decision, but did not include reasons for doing so.
This brings the total number of Umno MPs to 38, down from its initial batch of 54 just after the 14th general election.
