Other Tidö parties also wanted Norlén as Speaker. Norlén received 200 votes, compared with 146 for the Social Democrats' candidate Johanna Haraldsson.
The Social Democrats thus lose the Speaker's position, despite making it clear last week that they wanted a change in the speakership and that Norlén could not remain in office.
Group leader Lena Hallengren (S) took a hard line against V's position before the vote.
"It's a political game that I think is incomprehensible to most people. It is of course also a betrayal of all the voters who voted for change," she said in the chamber.
Norlén was elected Speaker in 2018 and has served for eight years so far.
Johanna Haraldsson (S) was elected First Deputy Speaker by a yes vote, and incumbent Julia Kronlid (SD) was re-elected Second Deputy Speaker, also by a yes vote.
Kerstin Lundgren (C) will also continue as Third Deputy Speaker, after 126 members voted for her.
V had nominated Håkan Svenneling, but he only managed to get 43 votes. This left V without the deputy speaker position, even though the party won more seats than C in the election.
"I understand that there was disappointment and anger from the Social Democrats and the Centre Party, who perhaps wanted revenge. I might have been above it," says V leader Nooshi Dadgostar.
Now Magdalena Andersson, who is forming the government, needs to think ahead and gather the team on the left and ensure that she gives Sweden a new direction. That is what the voters voted for.
