Kenyatta J. Johnson (born October 30, 1973)[2] is an American politician who has served as president of the Philadelphia City Council since 2024.

He was also a founding staff member of City Year, the non-profit AmeriCorps organization whose primary goal is to build advocacy through service.

Johnson and his lawyer said they believe the grand jury indictment would focus on the relationships among the councilman’s City Hall office, Chavous's consulting firm, and Universal Companies, a South Philadelphia community development nonprofit and charter-school operator founded by the music producer Kenny Gamble.

[12] The indictment accused Johnson of allegedly abusing his “councilmanic prerogative” to influence zoning decisions in his district for his own profit.

Chavous worked as chief of staff for State Senator Anthony H. Williams and as campaign manager for his 2010 gubernatorial run.
