It's NOT against the rules or law of the land to "cut ribbons" as your term in office nears its end.
If Leonel was truly unpopular then these "cutting ribbon" ceremonies would have been scenes of acrimony and extensive negative coverage for the PLD. They provided nothing of the kind and actually served to remind people HOW MUCH LF's Administration had helped many communities across our land.
The Hippo had his term as president, so there would not have been any impediment to the PRD capitalizing on his achievements when in office, in their campaign, that is, if he had any.
