MOMENTS after conceding to the victorious San Fernando West candidate Dr Michael Dowlath on the night of April 28, and before the new government is sworn in, outgoing MP Faris Al-Rawi said he was giving the new Kamla Persad-Bissessar-led administration 12 months to implode.

During his concession speech to few loyal supporters who remained in his camp on Independence Avenue as the ballot counting reflected a loss for the People's National Movement (PNM), Al-Rawi gave notice of a possible recount.
