In 2018, she was selected to be the prospective parliamentary candidate for Labour for Chingford and Woodford Green, coming second in the 2019 general election to the incumbent, Iain Duncan Smith. In 2023, her first book, Know Your Place, was published.

Shaheen was again selected by her local party in 2022 to stand for Chingford and Woodford Green, but was deselected after the July 2024 election was announced in late May due to the nature of historical social media posts she had liked. On 4 June 2024, Shaheen resigned from the Labour Party.

On 5 June, she announced that she was standing as an independent candidate for the constituency.
