resigner

One who withdraws

A resigner is someone who resigns—gives up a position, abandons a claim, or submits to circumstances.

The word is rare, appearing mostly in formal or legal contexts: The resigner of the office must submit written notice.

More commonly, English uses "the person who resigned" or simply names the individual.
