Withdraw from a party or federation (6)

I believe the answer is:

secede

(Other definitions for secede that I've seen before include "Disaffiliate" , "Make a formal withdrawal" , "Withdraw formally from membership or alliance" , "Withdraw from a political federation" , "Withdraw (from a federal union or organisation)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
