Chahim was elected to the municipal council of Helmond in 2006 for the Labour Party. He was reelected in 2010, 2014 and 2018. In 2014, he became party group leader in the council, a position he held until 2019, when he resigned his seat following his election to the European Parliament.
In addition to his committee assignments, Chahim is part of the European Parliament's delegation for relations with India.[1] He is also part of the European Parliament Intergroup on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development.[6]
Chahim is the head of EP's work on the carbon border tax, an element of the Fit for 55 climate package. He is enforcing the Green Deal in the Socialists & Democrats parliament bloc, when he made the bloc rejecting conservatives industry friendly legislation in carbon market regulation in summer 2023. This step forced the Parliament to accept steeper emission targets than intended by the commission.[3]
