Can we use "....in that party", or, "....for that party"?
The sentence in the thread's title is incorrect. The correct preposition, as RobertJ notes, is "by".
It's also a run-on sentence. Can you see where it should be split into two?
I don't think there should be any punctuation mark. If I had to put one, I would put a comma between, "politician" and "that's why".What punctuation would you use?

I can shorten the sentences but [STRIKE]can't[/STRIKE] I don't know where a punctuation mark can be placed. If you know better, it will be good to see the sentences with a punctuation or punctuation marks.
We're not just going to give you the answer. You don't need to shorten the sentences. You can keep all the words but you need to split them into two separate sentences. A comma doesn't separate sentences. I'm sure you know what the most common punctuation mark between sentences is.
This is harder work than I imagined. Look at post #5. It contains five sentences. What punctuation mark appears between each sentence?
(Edit - To be fair, I have just discovered that the punctuation mark in question is not used in Urdu.
You could use a semicolon, certainly, but that's not the most commonly-used punctuation mark between sentences.

Post #5 contains five sentences? I see one (no comma here) only. (It's more natural to use "I see only one.")
Sorry, I meant post #9.
Post #9 contains only 4 sentences. Is there anything wrong in those sentences in terms of punctuation marks?
Post #9:
I wrote post #9. As Piscean has shown you, it contains five sentences. Why do you think I would write a post that contains punctuation errors?
