Honolulu City Council Chair Tommy Waters is barred from seeking another term, a clear loss for him and a win for challenger Trevor Ozawa.

• The state's highest court upheld a lower court ruling that Waters hit the city's two-term limit.
• Waters appealed and 40 voters backed his challenge, but the case was thrown out.
• Waters said he is disappointed but glad voters now have certainty in the District 4 race.
• Ozawa called it a win for the rule of law and said the city charter's two-term cap is now settled.

Outlook: Ozawa and the other candidate head to the November election with the field cleared.
