Of course, let's discuss deeper into each preposition with more explanation and examples:

1.In:
"In" is used to denote being enclosed or surrounded by something else. It indicates a location within a specific area, container, or object.
Example 1: "The cat is in the box." (The cat is enclosed within the box.)
Example 2: "She lives in New York City." (She resides within the boundaries of New York City.)

2.On:
"On" is typically used to describe something in contact with a surface. It signifies a position of rest or support.
Example 1: "The book is on the table." (The book is resting on the surface of the table.)
Example 2: "There is a stain on your shirt." (The stain is in contact with the surface of the shirt.)

3.To:
"To" indicates movement towards a destination or a particular direction.
Example 1: "She walked to the park." (She moved in the direction of the park.)
Example 2: "He sent a letter to his friend." (The letter was directed towards his friend as the recipient.)

4.Into:
"Into" signifies movement or transformation from outside to inside. It indicates entering or being inserted into something else.
Example 1: "She jumped into the car." (She moved from outside the car to inside the car.)
Example 2: "He poured the juice into the glass." (The juice moved from outside the glass to inside the glass, filling it.)

In essence:
"In" describes a location within something.
"On" describes being positioned on a surface.
"To" indicates movement toward a destination.
"Into" signifies movement or transformation from outside to inside.

Into implies putting something inside something else. Eg : put stuffing into the dough. Imagine a long thin tube. You insert things "into the tube" ie movement. When you say put your house "into order" it implies that you're putting whatever is in the house (this case it is people) into a physical object which is "order". But here order does not imply physical object. In the given sentence "order" implies -"To organize one's affairs in a sensible, logical way. ". Thereby it is "in" and not "into".

Preposition into is used to when an action is in progress, and in is when action is committing.

And the meaning of this sentence is "the ruling party should make good measures to rule and emphasize its strength among people" and this action is in future tense so we have use in as preposition here, into come when it is in present tense.

'Into'and 'onto' is used for explaining the scenario during the course of action i.e. to put emphasis on movement.

Into is used during 'going inside'.

Eg: I went into the class.

He jumped into the river.

Here 'in' is used.
