Six-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt would, no doubt, be every political party and politicians' trump card to rev up their popularity among the masses this upcoming February 25 election day. However, the iconic Jamaican, who admits not to being on the voters list, recently revealed he has no interest in politics.

Bolt, speaking on Ian Boyne's Profile, several weeks ago, when asked his views on the impending general election, Bolt revealed that he is not on the voters' list.

"Me nuh like politics, not one bit," the athlete, said.

"I'm not a politics type of person; anything having to do with politics, I stay as far as possible from it. That's me," he added.

"I am not going to vote. I leave that as far as possible," he stressed, admitting that his parents are voters shared between two different political choices, despite living together in the same house.

"Even me parents, I know they are different parties, but I don't know which one is which one cause I don't even ask them, I know they are not the same ... dem come out and go vote at separate times, I know they are in different parties, but I don't have that type of interest," Bolt reiterated.

Despite not voting and not supporting any political party, the fastest man of all time assured that he is not against people and their choices, but maintains that that conversation is not for him.

"I hear a few things, but it's not something ... that I hear persons having a conversation and go there to input," he said.
