The political fallout of the coup tarnished the reputation of candidates previously affiliated with the Carwal Administration, and allowed pro-reformation liberal groups headed by Jalo R. SIinkar nar Pankow'ka, the former Mayor of the city of Pankow, to skyrocket in popularity. Subsequently, on April 5, 1964, SIinkar announced his candidacy for the paragonship nomination. Though some questioned Siinkar's age and political experience, his charisma, eloquence and familial history as the direct descendant of Hera Siinkar earned him numerous supporters even amongst conservative circles. Despite this, however, Siinkar faced several potential challengers, including Senate Majority Leader Anrah Niamh Zarsan, the former Governor of Ytak'ga Aran Ythar Garsan, and Senator Cadwyn Fanar. But regardless, Siinkar remained a popular choice amongst citizens who were set to cast their votes in mid June.

Following the conclusion of the vote on September 1, 1964, Siinkar won the popular vote in a landslide victory with 88.3% of the votes out of a record number of ballots cast. No oppositions both in the Saedikar, and the Saenad were given to Siinkar's victory.
On the cold morning of Federation Day, September 2, 1964, Jalo R. SIinkar took the oath of office. After the tumultuous events of previous year, and the tense political situation in both chambers of the Saekari, Siinkar realized the importance of ensuring that his inaugural address would reach out to both his supporters and opponents. In the days and weeks before it was to be delivered, he carefully studied famous speeches, such as the Declaration of Federalization, and copied their terse, vivid style. In the speech, he focused almost exclusively on domestic problems such as rapid inflation, unemployment. In addition, he claimed that his election signaled a fundamental generational shift in Mirhaime:<blockquote>''"We observe today not a victory of an individual, but a celebration of freedom and liberty—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change . . . Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Mirhaimians—born in this century, tempered by the constant threats of war's desolation, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those
Domestically, Siinkar presided over the worst economy since the start of the century with growing inflation and an economic recession prior to his inauguration. And as such, early in his first term as Paragon, Siinkar began implementing new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economics policies—colloquially referred to as "Doika" (Renovation)—advocated tax reduction, economic deregulation, and reduction in government spending. The four pillars of Siinkar's economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and tighten the money supply in order to reduce inflation. He was also a major advocate for nationwide educational reforms which culminated in the Ovon Act which improved teachers' wages, and provide support to children with disabilitites, or those who live near or under the poverty line regardless of race, income, disability, ethnicity, or proficiency in Fefsen. The Act allowed for improved educational quality on public schools in districts with a majority non-Fefsen population, and allowed for enough flexibility for them to adapt within the boundaries of federally-established standards.

Simutaneously, however, he spearheaded efforts to normalize relations with the Kingdom of Tretrid, and allowed the resumption - and later the intensification - of trade between the two states. Despite this near cessation of hostility, however, military spending increased by an average of 9.3% per year from 1969 to 1979.
Siinkar also championed and signed the bill that authorized the wide expansion of the "Undod" (Unity) Highway System which was first proposed and constructed during the Paragonship of ''Henwas Wren'' (1940-1950). He justified the expansion project in the Realm Highway and Transportation Act of 1972 as essential to Mirhaime's homeland defense strategy, and national security. It was believed that major population centers would be heavily targeted in the event of war with the construction of the highways allowing for massive evacuation operations to occur as well as facilitate the rapid deployment of manpower, and resources from one location in the country to another.
Siinkar's goal was to create a comprehensive network of easy-to-access highways which would be beneficial for military operations and would also provide a measure of continued economic growth for the nation. And as such, the system could also be used as a runway for airplanes, which would be beneficial to defensive efforts which later became an integral part of Mirhaimian air defenses stratagem with aircrafts capable of STOL being developed and fielded in the 1980s.
During his tenure, railroad transportation was also prioritized with the construction of a high-speed railway network as stated in the Realm Highway and Transportation Act of 1972. Initially built to connect distant regions with Loren'ka SAR with the goal of aiding economic growth, and development. Starting with the Loren-Bafaas Express Line (515.4 km, 320.3 mi) in 1975, the network has expanded to currently consist of 2091.6 km (1,299.6 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 230–320 km/h (145–200 mph). Metropolitan areas such as Loren, and Bafaas also features 158.4 km (98.5 mi) of mini-sioul lines.
