His living status is verified: the French article records his public acts through the 2024 election period and was itself updated in August 2026. Existence was checked by filename fragments under all spellings (mountakha, muntakha, mbacke, mbake), by Arabic label and by the QID route across data/person/; the Mbacké records already in the museum (his great-uncle's generation: Amadou Bamba, Serigne Fallou Mbacké, Abdou Khadre Mbacké) are different men, confirmed by biography — he is the eighth caliph (from 2018), the founder's grandson. No relations are written: his father Serigne Mouhamadou Bassirou Mbacké and his predecessor Serigne Sidy Mokhtar Mbacké have no records in the museum, and edges are written only to existing targets.",
