In as into is used in case of physical things to actually putting anything inside anything.

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".

What is the difference between into and in?
Prakash said:

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.
