Chaudhry served in the position of deputy representative to the [[Stortinget|Norwegian Parliament]] from [[Oslo]] during the terms 2001–2005 and 2005–2009. Halfway into the latter term, in 2007, he moved up as a regular representative as [[Heidi Sørensen]] (who in turn filled in for [[Kristin Halvorsen]]) was appointed State Secretary. He has been a member of Parliament since then. When Sørensen returned to Parliament in 2012, [[Heikki Holmås]] joined the cabinet, so from then Chaudry replaced him in Parliament.

On 4 December 2012, Chaudry lost a nomination election in Oslo SV for the top spot on the party's ballot in the [[2013 Norwegian parliamentary election|Norwegian parliamentary election of 2013]]. He was not interested in spots further down the ballot and was not reelected to the parliament in 2013.<ref>Martin Herman Wiedswang Zondag: [http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/norge/1.9422553 Holmås vant SV-thrilleren] NRK, 4 December 2012</ref>
