Political career

In parliament, Khedher served as member of the Committee on National Defence and the Armed Forces. In addition to her committee assignments, she was part of the Assembly's delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. She is also a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Oman and Tunisia.[4] In 2020, Khedher joined En commun (EC), a group within LREM led by Barbara Pompili.[5]

Khedher lost her seat in the first round of the 2022 French legislative election.[6] The constituency was won by Republican Alexandre Vincendet in the second round.

Political positions

In July 2019, Khedher decided not to align with her parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[7]
