I quote that text from the Macmillan dictionary online, topic phrasl verbs 'set up':
MAINLY BRITISH to put someone in a position of power
set someone up as something: a plan to set him up as party leader.
Why there’s no article before the word ‘party’. I would put the indefinite article: a plan to set him up as a party leader.
