That cannot be determined. The idea was developed and discussed by several of the engineers working on the ENIAC design during WW2, but nobody bothered to record who first brought up the idea. The idea however was not used on ENIAC as the design was already frozen and it was necessary to build what they had if they hoped to finish it before the end of the war.

John von Neumann was the first to document the idea on paper, so he is commonly erroneously given the attribution, but he definitely did not develop the idea himself.

It is unknown who first developed the idea of the stored program, but it was generated on project PX that designed and built ENIAC. The idea came up during discussions among the designers of ENIAC during 1944 and early 1945, but nobody bothered to take any notes of those discussions and by the time ENIAC was announced to the public in 1946 nobody could recall who had proposed the idea of stored programming.

Sometimes John von Neumann is improperly credited with the idea of stored programming because of the publication of a draft memo on the EDVAC stored program computer design that he wrote in June 1945. But he was only repeating ideas that already existed.

Why is John von Neumann known as the father of the stored program computer?

Computer programs were originally considered to be an integral part of the machine while the data it operated on was separate. In 1945, John von Neumann proposed a new architecture such that the program and its data could be stored together on a mass storage medium (such as a hard disk drive), to be loaded into working memory (such as RAM), as and when it was required. This is the basis of all modern computers, thus John von Neumann is now regarded as being the father of the stored program computer.
