Political asylum stinks for Julian Assange!

The exiled WikiLeaks founder’s bad hygiene is one reason Ecuador’s embassy in London wants to boot him, according to a report Friday.

The 46-year-old document leaker— who has been holed up in the embassy since 2012 — is a slob who rarely bathes, a “well-placed” source told the International Business Times.

“It seems he doesn’t wash properly,” the source, who has visited Assange at the embassy, told the site.

On Friday, Ecuador granted Assange citizenship after a five-year standoff in its UK embassy.

The country gave him asylum after he sought refuge in the embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden for investigation of sex-related claims — a case that has since been dropped.

But officials — some of whom have been forced to share space with Assange at the embassy — may have been motivated to get rid of him because he refuses to shower and often wipes greasy food on his clothes, according to IBT.

“Julian ate everything with his hands and he always wiped his fingers on his pants. I have never seen pants as greasy as his in my whole life,” said one of Assange’s closest aides, Daniel Domscheit-Berg.

In 2012, Jérémie Zimmermann, a friend and former colleague of Assange, said friends often have to force him to bathe.

“Unless the people around him force him into the shower, he might not change his clothes for days,” Zimmermann said.

On Thursday, Britain’s Foreign Office said it rejected Ecuador’s request to grant him diplomatic status in the UK.

In the near future, Assange will still be required to alert British authorities of any movement outside the embassy.
