In 1991, Zahawi and fellow British-Kurd Broosk Saib were aides to Conservative politician Jeffrey Archer during Archer's "Simple Truth" campaign to help Kurdish victims of the Gulf War. Zahawi and Saib were nicknamed "Lemon kurd" and "Bean kurd" by Archer. Zahawi also ran Archer's unsuccessful campaign for Mayor of London in 1998.

In 1994 Archer helped Zahawi campaign for a local council seat in the London Borough of Wandsworth, where Zahawi was elected as a Conservative Party councillor in Putney (1994 to 2006).

Nadhim Zahawi read Chemical Engineering at University College London before proceeding to jobs such as European Marketing Director for Smith & Brooks Ltd, and co-founder and former CEO of YouGov the international market research firm which was listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market in 2005.

The Kurdish government granted Gulf Keystone Petroleum the licence for 75% of oil production in the Sharikam oilfield in Northern Iraq which is one of the largest oil fields discovered in the last 50 years. In 2015, over 45 thousand barrels of crude oil were produced on a daily basis and Gulf Keystone Petroleum estimate the Sharikan oilfield has a shelf life of 80 to 100 years.

In early June 2020 Zahawi stated that a "Coronavirus" contact tracing app could be widely deployed in the UK by the end of the month. In late November 2020, he was made UK's Minister for Covid Vaccine Deployment. Although documents revealed that in December 2020 the UK government was planning a "Covid passport", Zahawi explicitly denied this, and in February 2021 he was claiming that the government was “not looking at a vaccine passport for our domestic economy”. In April 2021, he wrote that the UK "currently operates a system of informed consent for vaccinations".
