Following reports of Castillo's apparent victory, Fujimori made unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud and made efforts to overturn the election with support of wealthy citizens of Lima.[1][2][3][174][175] Those among the more affluent, including former military officers and wealthy families, demanded new elections, promoted calls for a military coup and utilized classist or racist rhetoric to support their allegations of fraud.[150] According to analysts, Peru was more susceptible to unrest as a result of Fujimori's narrative since democratic institutions are weaker in the nation.[150] Senior fellow of the Washington Office on Latin America Jo Marie Burt described the overturn attempts as "a slow-motion conspiracy to prevent Castillo from becoming president", with The Guardian reporting that if Castillo was prevented from becoming president by 28 July 2021, a new election would be initiated.[6]
