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]
