Main party entering leaders in Odisha’s Kendrapara elections gets fine (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

okey doke

'fine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'main party entering leaders in odisha's kendrapara elections' is the wordplay.
'main' becomes 'key'.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'entering' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'leaders in' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'odisha kendrapara elections' is 'oke'.
'key'+'do'='keydo'
'keydo' put within 'oke' is 'OKEY-DOKE'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for okey doke that I've seen before include "Fine" , "Agreed" , "very well" , "24 [ALRIGHT]" .)
