As an FLN candidate, Belkhadem was elected to the People's National Assembly (APN) in 1977 from Sougueur in Tiaret, and was re-elected as a deputy from Sougueur in 1982 and 1987. During his time as a deputy, he was rapporteur of the APN's Planning and Finance Committee before being elected as President of the Education, Training, and Scientific Research Committee in 1987. He was Vice-President of the APN from 1988 to 1990 and President of the APN from 1990 to 1991. Belkhadem was a member of the Political Bureau of the FLN from 1991 to 1997. Later, he was Minister of State and Minister of Foreign Affairs from July 2000 to May 2005, and then Minister of State and personal representative of the Head of State (President Abdelaziz Bouteflika) from May 2005 to May 2006.

One of two bombings in Algiers on April 11, 2007 struck near Belkhadem's office. He was not harmed in the attack and condemned the bombings as "criminal and cowardly". At least 23 people were reported killed in the two bombings. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6544437.stm "Explosions rock Algerian capital"] , BBC News, April 11, 2007.]

Following the May 2007 parliamentary election, Belkhadem presented the resignation of his government, as expected, and this was accepted by President Bouteflika on June 1. Belkhadem remained in office in a caretaker capacity, along with 11 ministers; the remaining 15, who won parliamentary seats in the election, were required to choose between those seats and their positions as ministers.
