he had a major disagreement with Warner Bros. over the terms of his contract so he left in the middle of Series 4 (the plot was that he contested a congress seat, California 47th i.e. the O.C.!).

However, he's left the option open for Lowe to return (we never get to know whether he won the election or not).

Sorkin explains what happened in detail in his second scriptbook (i.e. The West Wing, The Shooting Scripts, Series 3 & 4).
