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](/source/European_Parliament).

Chahim has served as a [Member of the European Parliament](/source/Member_of_the_European_Parliament) since [2019](/source/2019_European_Parliament_election_in_the_Netherlands).
