Political career Member of Parliament (since 2022) 2022 general election In the 2022 general election, Khlir made his electoral debut after being nominated by PN to contest for the Ketereh federal seat.

Rumours of being nominated as the new Leader of the Opposition There were rumours that Khlir was to be nominated as the new Leader of the Opposition to replace Hamzah Zainudin by Chairman of PN Muhyiddin Yassin after a political fallout between Muhyiddin and Hamzah on which direction should BERSATU go to and who the candidate for the Menteri Besar of Selangor in the 2023 Selangor state election is. They were however rubbished by Muhyiddin.
